The kit should have come with a wiring harness that plugs into the oem ambient plug and splits into a 3rd plug that goes to the ambient light on the speaker cover. Look for it in the package or ask the seller.

You will have to take the door panel off, there should be a plug that goes into the ambient lighting in the door panel. That’s where your new harness plugs into there to make a 3 way plug, one goes back into the oem ambient lighting and one that splits to the new ambient lighting on the speaker cover.

Once you remove the door panel, you will see on the back sideof the grill, it’s held by plastic that’s infused which you need to carefully cut/remove with a dremel tool. Once it’s remove you can replace the grill with the new grills. The new grills are secured with screws that are supplied.

Hey,
you can't do the job without taking off the inside door panel!

Look at youtube to see how it is done
