Just installed them today and ran into some fitment issues with since the new foam pad is alot thicker, but if you stick a few credit cards or use a taped up screwdriver to push the bottom up and then tighten it it still fits well.

I also snapped a picture incase anyone needs it, its an extremely straight forward install.

-take out the center trunk floor piece
-disconnect negative terminal
-remove the plastic piece in between the tail lights (inside trunk - has 2 screws and 2 tabs(?) holding it)
-take out one tab on each side of the inner carpet and pry it back to reveal the tail light assmebly
-remove 3 8mm bolts (red circles)
-unplug two connectors (blue squares)
-then simply pull the lights out and reverse to install

Hope this helps anyone that is unsure of the diy
