First of all, big thanks to Tbonesteak for his
AWESOME DIY! Thanks
If it wasn't for this line, I don't think I would have the courage to push the housing
hard the way I did.

Pry open the housing. Take a small flathead and start prying from the corner with the most clearance. You have to apply quite a bit of pressure until you hear a crack. This is not going to crack the housing so you don't have to worry. You're just cracking the dried glue.

So, I finally finished all my led projects (at least I think). I already have the SMD LED in the trunk and I put the SMD in the license plate housing today. In the picture it may look
too bright but since my paint (Monterey Blue) doesn't reflect light much (lets say compare to Pearl White), it's really not obnoxiously bright. It's just perfect IMO. I'm pretty happy with the install. It was a fun little project. Took me a little over 1 hour (wasted 10 minutes tried to bake the dam housing and that was
FIAL 
).
Here are some pictures:
sorry guys, I know it looks exactly like the BEFORE picture. That's because camera compensates for the extra light
. There's nothing I can do
If you own a darker color Z and you think your current leds aren't bright enough for your plates, here your solution.
