Huh? it's easy ... I will post more pic of the connection. I did that quite easily. using T10 connector with 2 wires (connectors) welded to the LED strip

Exactly, the led strip has 2 soldering point, + and -. I just connect it to the + and - cable of the T10 adapter (I got it when I bought LED dome light from china) and then plugged it in the terminal. the tricky part is to make sure the cable goes in the opening of the plastic lamp cover which means removing the cable from the plug, push it through the opening, and then reconnect it.

but is it safe to just to that? what i mean, will it not cause any electrical problems? doesnt have to add like resistor etc.? sorry i dont have a background with electricals and stuff. oh BTW, does it turn on when you open your side doors or it only turns on when you open the rear door?

Nothing changes as far as its function, so it will still only operate when you open the rear hatch, and no it doesn't stuff with your electricals, as you buy the correct adapter like listed above and the correct LED strip... The CANBUS error that everyone is talking about involves the rear tail lights, but can be correct with CANBUS error free bulbs... Nothing to worry about, its a very easy mod, I can't wait till my parts arrive and I can do it... Its not drawing any extra power so no pressure on the electrical system or car computer....
