here are the parts used for the mod:
2x red white led strips http://www.exledusa.com/exled-db5-2way-flexible-d.i.y-bar-pcb-20-inch-for-2color-5450-2yw-2yb-2rw-led-only.html
2x Parking Lights + Turn signal Control Module for 1 Color LED setup http://www.exledusa.com/parking-lights-turn-signal-control-module-for-1-color-led-setup-pair.html ( i used 2 pieces to do this job but they have since came up with one module that dose the same job.)
wire to extend the led strips from the top to the trunk tail lights
heat shrink
wire tap in connectors ( i cut and soldered all of my connections but can achieve the same effect with them.)
3m double sided tape
Ok so to start off extend the wires off of the led strips so they will be able to reach the trunk with plenty of extra left over. Hint:( make your connections small and not all at one spot so you can fit it in the window channel on the car.)
i had to do some prep work due to the 2 control pieces but you will be able to skip this step with the new control module
i used long pieces of heat shrink to cove the wire from the roof in till the trunk to:
A) keep water out and B) to hide the bright color of the wires.
I tinted mine to stand out less but this is an optional step.
Center both led strips onto the car and apply the led strips to the lip of the spoiler
work the wire down the window channel in till you have it snaked all the way into the trunk.
now for the wire diagram
i know it can be a bit confusing but the colors are not optional obviously.
basically you need to take ground, running lights and brake lights from the bottom plug wires.
the turn wire from the turn light plug and the backup wire from the back up light wire.
everything will run thru the module except for the backup light.
this is my first diy so please let me know what you think and if you have any questions please feel free to ask
happy modding
