IIRC, you'd need to solder some wires

Why would you change a perfect set of leds by factory in there? Nothing aftermarket is gonna give you anything close to that.

As the OP says, he wants it brighter.
Don't know why anyone wants to make their plate lights brighter, but to each their own.

I've attempted but was clueless on how to take off the trunk lid liner, and no surprise about the pictures of the license plate, I have personalized plates and always see some one through my rearview aiming their camera phone at my plates!
