Ok here you go:
First pop the hatch and locate the third brake light and remove the back cover

Grab a 10mm socket and remove the two 10's on both side of light.

Pop light out by squeezing the two tabs, unplug the white connector and fish the wires out of the light housing

Use a small flat head and remove the red reflector(two tabs on each side)

Unplug the tiny 5 pin white connector, then unclip the tabs on each side of light that cover the led board electronics

Remove the white connector from the FIT led brake light and fish the two wires through the small opening on the light, then reconnect the wires to the connector to the second and four pin

Now connect the led connector to the connector you unplug earlier, tuck the plugged in connector under cover and snap back.

Reconnect main plug and reverse beginning steps, and your done
