When you collect all the parts and paint the trunk..at the end you have to re-wire the lights like this:

then code the car to be able to read LED so it doesn't flicker fast. You're done.

side note: if you have a key hole for your pre-lci you'll lose that and you'll have to cut the wire off the locking mechanism.

If you have any questions ask me.

Everything is explained above,
exception is the wiring arrangement on both sides are different.
