Hi Theresa,

I installed the WebElectric plug-ins. Hardest thing is getting your hands behind the plastic shroud. Remove the bolts but it will still be an abstruction to your view. Found that if you use a rag to jam the trunk flange open, it will help save your manicure! I ended up breaking one of the push clips but just spent $2 at Pepboys to replace so if you need to sacrafice one or two, not a big deal.

Push clips...Is that the little black x-mas tree (that's what the dealer guy called them!!)
little screw...plug things ?? I had one replaced on the backseat carpet area.
I have something like that missing from the bottom of the front spoiler. Can I get one of those plugs fromthe auto parts store?

It's gone...
I parked a over a parking block and it didn't scrape until we got back in and backed up. I would guess that's how it got messed up. So the black plastic piece hangs a little and I noticed one of the plugs was missing.

When removing the plastic 2-piece clips that hold the plastic trunk surround in place, only pop out the center part. Once that is out, then the rest of the clip will come out easily. If you try to pop them both out at the same time, you'll need to buy new clips.

Good luck on the install. The hardest part for me was getting the hot wire through the wirewall, but I think they may now suggest a rear location for power.

Just took a look at it. The 2 center one's are x-mas tree plugs and the 2 a little higher
are the unscrew kind.

No problem with the kit you plug it into the passenger side fuse box.

Got the lightsout and in, all done in the trunk area, took a break to feed the kids.
Now to run the wires....
Don't care for how they word the instructions, I think I could of wrote them a little clearer.
