I have a Sport S with the rear bumper with backup sensors and the reflectors in the middle.
I plan on replacing them with the smoked lens led brake lights.

has anyone ever done this? What wire should I tap into?

Thanks for your help.

I havenā€™t gotten around to it yet but it looks like you have to remove the bumper and pop them out from the back

But did you need to remove the bumper to get to the screw? Disconnecting cables and removing all the bolts seems a little too much effort to me but if it can be done without removing the bumper then I'll do it.

Looks good. Would love to get the smoked to match my smoked tails and 3rd brake light. What wiring did you tap into. I'm not the greatest with electrical so dumb it down for me lol

Where did you tap into for the power. Trailer harness or the tail light
i havenā€™t put them on yet. Iā€™ll probably tap into the tail light or I may tap into the front fog lights and use them as rear fog lights
