You just plug em in. The trunk light is the same bulb. You can put them in backward and they wont work though, so have the light on so that you know if you have it in the correct way before pushing it all the way in. You won't hurt them by putting them in backward if I made it sound that way.

ya I used a flathead to pry them off. The real pain is removing the bulbs, they're difficult to grab onto.

when i put LED ones in mine getting the stock ones out was a BIATCH.

what I ended up using was that thin rubber type material ppl use in kitchen drawers to stop things from sliding around.

was thin enuf and since it was a grabby rubber material i was able to get a grip on the bulb and pull.

Replacing the bulbs with LEDs will actually use less power than stock, so no worries there.

I've got these
Super Bright LEDs - Miniature Wedge Base Bulbs
Their site is a pain to link to. It's the one in the top section, the WLED-X5

if you want blue, it may look kinda goofy in your trunk because of the case over the bulb.
I know one guys shined green.
