Replaced all interior light bulbs to LED (vanity, glove box, and liftback). Added LED lights to interior, hood and liftback.

The factory light housings are all snap in only so if you gently pry them from the sides, they will pop out. Be carefull as you can break them in the process of prying too hard.

I wonder what these are and how they mount?
One of the pictures shows their location at the outside corners of the hatch, might be a more OEM look.

I found some similar recessed spots on ebay


black trim would be nicer but only available in 10pcs. Those instructions are great though at it clearly tells you where to drill the holes.

I wired it so if the car is on, the lights are always on just like the ambient lights on the doors/speakers. I did this mainly because the LED consume very little power.
You can choose to take power from a fuse tied to the ignition. This way the light will be on when the car is on and off when off or simply add a switch.

Could you possibly take pictures of how you wired it and post when you get a chance?

I can, but it's simple enough. if you want the light to stay on while the car is on, you can tap into the USB port wires. The two outside wires of the USB connector wires are your power and ground. Tap the center floor USB for the floor LEDs and the USB center console (above the wireless charging pad) for the center console LED.

If I have time I'll take some pictures. This might take a day of two.

I did change the front signal light to amber/white switchback led with aid of adapter I made. But fairly simple if you just want direct LED replacement. However, you have to find led bulb to draw at least just under 1 Amp or the car will hyperflash thinking it is a blown lamp. Below link to my mod.

I tried to get the glove box light fixture out today with no sucess. I pried the left side out but the right side would not budge, and it seemed like there was not sufficient wire length to remove the right side. Could someone that has successfully removed the light fixture chime in on how to remove it.
