I just traced the wire from the main usdm connector to the wiring loom in the trunk and spliced into that. Non 06 ppl could just trace the wires from the release mechanism in the trunk and there you go.
I have a daytime pix w/o amber turn lit, it's suttle and hard to see when sunlight not shining on it, but shows up nicely when sun is shining on it. Seems as though the red lense housing is a deeper red than the usdm too.

Go for it man! When I get some time I may take your advice and try and track down the wiring to get that trunk button going. It'll be very handy on my '03.

Yeah...hit me up on the wiring, it's really easy.
Pictures:
Sunlight not quite right, but look hard (drivers side)and you can see the diff
These better...sorry she was dirty.
Ok...couldn't help it...one with ambers lit and running lights on.

Trunk button is a plus for 06's.

I'm still on the fence about them. I like them but, I don't know if I like them enough to spend a few hundred on them. Looks nice though, good way to do something distinctive, yet subtle without being tacky/ricey/dumb about it.
