Trunk Lid Light Removal/Installation

NOTE:
  • Fogging or condensation may occur on the inside of the trunk lid light because of a natural phenomenon occurring as a result of a temperature difference between the interior and exterior of the trunk lid light. However, it has no effect on the light performance because the phenomenon is resolved when temperature inside the trunk lid light rises after the back-up light turns on or a period of time has elapsed.
