Ron, fellows and fellaws:
I got a 20 LED's third brake light from JCWhipme??  Don't ask.  I trace a
wire from the left (driver) rear brake light up through the air vent scoop,
drilled a hole from the air scoop to the van roof (in the inside, just under
the roofliner) and put on a grommet.  Get as close to the window defroster
wire coming from the front as you can and feed your brake wire with the
defroster on the rubber boot into the hatch door.  Pull the wire down from
the lower side of the hatch and drill another small hole in the center of
the door right under the glass rubber trim.  Affix your brake light and
insert its wire inside the door to connect to your recently traced wire.  It
looks fine to me.
