Default Help on how to replace backup lights

I just got some super bright LED back up lights from JW and did not get any install instructions with them. What is the best way to replace them? Did a search and could not find anything.

If i remember right. Remove the liscense plate frame and plate. behind it will be 4 torx head screws. t15? this will remove the whole assembly and the lights just twist out (1/4 turn)

Ahh thanks Whitesmoke 1. Beats looking all over the place to find out how to access them thanks. Took about 15 minutes once you told me. Thanks!

Also thanks Jonathon. I can't wait to see them tonight. Look pretty bright even in the daylight. It was really dirty behind that licence plate assembly. I hosed all the dirt out from behind the bumper and put some wax on the painted surface. I also waxed my chrome licence plate cover to keep it from rusting or pitting.
