Stumped installing Tricled brake flasher

[dshogman]

OK, I get the panel off surrounding the rear trunk opener - I can see the left connector but can't reach it with pudgy fingers, certainly not enough to separate the 2 halves of the plug. Can't even see the right side plug. Do the taillights have to be removed? If so, how? Can't find it in the shop manual/. There are 2 visible screws on each taillight but they still don't budge. About to give up on it and let the dealer do the install. arghhh :banghead:

See my video in this post where I added a trunk break light.
I show how to get the panels off to get at the break light wiring.

Bottom line yes you do have to get the lights off as there ius just not enough room behind them to tap into the wires.

Don't give up, it gets easier! You have to remove the black panel below the one you just took off. Open the side bags and disconnect the plunger so you can access the additional screws you need to remove. Once removed, remove and unplug the brake light. Everything you need is right there. It really is a lot easier than you think.
