12v switched power, to the tail lights should get you there.

assuming you have a base model ... drilling might be required as you mentioned

Mine is a mk3 with a mk2 bootlid and mk1 bootlid wiring lol, was all plug and play but I did have to make a connection for the glow light from memory
Tap into a tail light feed as above

Would depend on which bootlid you have currently.

The mk1 garnish will fit a mk1/mk2 GT bootlid. It would require quite a severe amount of work to make it fit a mk3 bootlid for example.

Here's one fitted:



You can see the panel is recessed into the bootlid on this pic:



On the later bootlids there is no recess:

The MK3 rear end looks terrible I think
Mr Toyoda dropped the ball on that 1

Im going to do the GT look like the first picture. All im warried about is to leave the right distance between the holes.
And thats it ??? Pins will go in and "lock" ? Will not need any glue or something ?
Thanks guys.

Does your current bootlid have the recess?



If so, it should be a case of either using the current holes or drilling new ones.

If not, it won't sit correctly.
