Oh yeah that one for sure seems simple enough. Thanks for the item #. Saves me from trying to figure out which bulb i'm looking for. Haha. I almost wanna try and find a LED bulb for that too. Cool points and all. Lol.

Careful. If you put a LED 7440 bulb in the high mount brake light socket, it will light up but so will the brake light out warning on the dash. You'd have to add a resistor to a LED bulb in that location to create additional resistance equal to the current draw of a 7440 filament bulb.

I don,t think u can buy trunk shocks to spring the trunk open. It is made to just pop up about 1 inch. If u can find some to open all the way let me know.
