Fry's Electronics has relays, but they're too big to fit through the plate light housing hole. You said you removed your trunk liner already, so that shouldn't be an issue for you... but the dimensions of the relay are something to think about.

The OEM LED's are basically plug-n-play, but you need a resistor/relay combo to prevent strobing on startup and a bulb out error message in I-Drive.
My friend and I are in the final stages of testing a build for an adapter cable. Price has yet to be determined, but once he figures out the cost of parts and labor I will start up a group buy.

Be patient guys. My friend is waiting on some new relays to be delivered. We have to do some more testing with different amp ratings because the current set of relays I have buzz when idling. We're trying to keep the relays small in size so you don't have to remove the trunk liner when installing.
