Can you just cut them in half? When I got my fog light halos I didn't see anywhere else but the one spot to solder them..

Can you provide a little more detail? You say that you bought 160 mm white LED's; do they appear red since you put them on the inside of the tail light? Also, I'm assuming that you had to remove the rear bumper to access the tail lights properly. Is this correct?

Last, how or where did you wire them to?

I just cut them in half, used clear silicone to put glue them onto the taillight, i cut after the first LED from the where the wire are, and drilled a small hole on the top corner of the taillight fed the wire through and tapped into the existing taillight harness. and yes they shine red through the red plastic. I didn't have to solder anything. I didn't remove the bumper either its fairly simple to remove the taillights. To wire the them -Black with Black and Red with Brown.

Thanks. But I thought the only way to get to the tail lights is to remove the rear fascia. I'm confused as to how you did this without removing the rear fascia/bumper cover...

They come out without having to remove the bumper. Open the trunk and take out drain covers and go from there
