According to the Roadmaster, the Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs, part # RM-155, will fit in the tail lights of your 2008 Saturn Vue.

The # RM-155 kit will require you to drill a 1-inch hole in the back of the taillight housing right under the red lens. It uses the standard #1157 bulb which measures 1.83 inches tall and .97 inches width of the bulb. The sockets measures .95 inches where it goes into the lens.

The instructions show to drill a 1 inch hole in the taillight housing beneath a red lens to fit the socket and to make sure once the bulb is inserted in the socket it has 1/4 inch clearance from the top of the bulb to the lens.

Also, when drilling the hole in your taillight housing it is better to use a 1 inch hole saw instead of a drill bit so there will be less chance of any damage to the wires or housing.

I am including a link to a FAQ page that will show the different options for tow bar wiring on a vehicle.
