Help with LED Tail install........

I just got the LED tails for my '00 from Burtman. Thought it was going to be a quick install, but I'm just not figuring it out. They came with no directions, so I'm thinking its just my lack of mechanical knowledge. I did some searching on the topic here and some people were talking about removing the whole rear quarterpanel to install them. I have to use the harness provided, right? After looking at it I don't know how it could be a simple plug and play install. If I knew they were going to be such a pain I would have saved my $$. Anybody know of a writeup for a '00 LED tail install? Thanks guys

Thanks Sloan, if its just the one screw to take that back panel off maybe its not that difficult. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. Thanks!!

i don't know if your '00 has the rear power outlet on the pass side, but i broke the plastic surround when i was fishing around back there to put in my '02 tails in a couple years ago. just a heads up, mine rattles like crazy still since 1 or 2 of the tabs are broken behind it. just take it a little slower than i did and you won't have any problems. good luck
