Just pull up really hard on the rubber strip from one end - it just clips in, so should come out reasonably easily.

Drill a hole between the hole for the bolts, feed the wire into the boot, then through the rubber tubing/grommet setup at the right hand side near the rear window, then splice into the high mount stop light circuit, and remove the bulb from your existing high mount (you can only have 3 brake lights).

Truth. Bizarre, yes, but truth.
Don't ask me why that is because my commodore has 4 brakelights.
