I recommend removing the tail light assemblies on your 2008 Honda Pilot before drilling into the back of them to install the bulbs. Also make sure that you do not drill through any vital components on the assembly. The wiring should be able to get routed down through the vehicle through where the tail light assembly mounts.

When drilling, use bits that are made for plastic and start with a small pilot hole first and work your way up to the correct size for the bulbs.

When routing the wiring under the vehicle, avoid areas that may pinch or burn the wire like exhaust and suspension components. You can use wire ties to hold the wire to the vehicle frame or existing wire harnesses under the vehicle.
