On standard rear lamp clusters the boot release button (ie where you put the key and then press) is in the drivers side lamp (dependant on which side you drive on) aftermarket lamps such as after burners ect do not have this mechanism so a kit is supplied usualy a button attatched to an electric motor which will operate the boot catch release.   :)

Don't forget, if it's an electrically operated boot kit & your main doors are de-locked, you won't be able to get in through the boot in the event of your battery going flat... :(

Thats why its always a good idea to have an external charge point fitted the same time as you de lock the car, as xlisax has found out saves calling out the recovery every time you leave the lights on :D

When it happen to me, the AA man couldn't open the bonnet, just couldn't reach it so put leads from a jump pack to starter motor waiting 10 mins then pressed keyfob and door open :)
