Changing out brake lights to LED

So I ordered a pair of 26 smd LEDs for break lights thinking they'd be as easy to change out as the front turn signals. Now that I actually open the trunk to install them, I have no idea how to get to the light! Any ideas?

Unscrew the 4 Philip push screws edge of the trunk (open trunk all the way up and look along the trim) and the two. Screws that it tucked inside. Put body into trunk and look up. One of each side close to the edge. There's also a few more when you stand back n look at the trunk. But you don't need those off.

Basically open the trunk n remove 6 screws. Work your way back from closet to midway of the trunk.

If I have time ill take a picture of the screw location for you.

Bit confusing to explain.
