Will this bolt directly to my existing brake light housing?

Yes. This assembly mounts at the factory attachment points — no drilling or brackets required. Confirm fitment with your vehicle's specific model year before ordering.

Do I need to rewire anything, or does this use the factory connector?

Factory connector compatibility not confirmed — verify your harness before installation. If your current wiring differs, you may need an adapter or rewire to match the new assembly's plug type.

Can this be painted or modified to match my car's color?

The smoked lens is part of the design and should not be painted. The housing itself can be prepped and painted if needed, but masking the LED elements carefully is essential to keep them functional.
