Will this bolt directly to my factory brake light location?

Yes, it mounts at the factory center panel points. No drilling or frame modification needed — use the existing fastener holes.

Do I need a custom wiring harness, or does it connect to the stock connector?

The specific wiring compatibility isn't detailed in the product data — confirm your connector type before purchase or contact support with your VIN to verify plug-and-play fitment.

Can I paint the smoked lens, or is the finish permanent?

The smoked finish is integrated into the lens. If you want a different tint, test adhesive films on a small area first — painting may affect LED light transmission.
