No, sorry I didn't explain it better.

The little doors in the trunk behind the lights are not completely cut out. Some of the material still overlaps the door edge and you need to just pull the door to tear these few fibres or cut them with a knife... no big deal.

Thanks, that'd be great! I'm really curious to see how bright they are in comparison to the stock bulbs. Those were actually one of the auctions I was looking at...

well tried to install them this morning and they are extremely lose in the socket compared to the ones that came with the car, so if the slightest bump knocks them out of place - any suggestions?

wrap foil tightly around each end of the bulb. You can use electrical tape to help it hold in place if it wants to come lose.

then stick the bulb in.. should stay in place.

Or bend in the connectors on the socket to tighten them up a little bit. I've had to do that before on my old S-10. Do they work ok though?

Just installed them today actually and just bent the connectors and worked like a charm.

How do they compare to stock bulbs? Much brighter and "whiter" light? Or no? I'm still trying to decide on these...
