It takes a little patience to feed the wire plug through the light assembly but worth it.
I peeled back the grommet, moved the other wires out of the way and still could not get the plug to fit in that little space. Then being impatient I got out the drill gun.
don't do this without moving all the wires out of the way. But with two 1/8 holes it cleared enough space.

I'll miss that parking light though. I use that all the time when I leave the car parked in a dimly lit parking lot. makes the curious think someone's in the car.

EDIT:
You don't lose the parking light after all. But strangely after i start the car and turn on the lights the rear lights will only turn on if i turn the lights off and then turn them back on again. Also, its a good idea to have some touch up paint handy. I had some chipping under the old tail lights and Depo lights have a slightly smaller footprint which revealed the paint chip.
