    You have to pull off the lower interior plastic of the hatch. It's held on tightly with plastic clips which you just have to yank out. The one in the very center is the hardest. Once it's off you can see where the wires go the lights and it's easy to follow from there.

    Be sure any of the plastic clips that may have stayed in the metal hatch are removed and replaced into the plastic cover, then just push it back on.
