Subject:Re: third rear tail light?

Chris, fellows and fellaws:
I installed a third brake light in the lower border of the hatch glass.  It
is a JCWhitney compact 20-LED light.  I threaded a wire from the driver-side
taillight wire cluster, up into the lateral air vent.  Drilled a hole from
the vent into the ceiling (the closest to the front edge as my hand and
drill allowed so it will hide behind the vent) and fished the wire from the
inside.  Treaded the wire in the rubber boot going from the post to the rear
hatch an finally drill a small hole almost under the glass gasket.  The
light sticks to the glass and the wire is twisted inside the hatch, behind
the panel.  Took me almost 1 hour to do the whole installation.
