IIRC (and it's been almost 2 yrs) the Logo wires go right thru the hole that
the badge used for attachment. I spliced some zip cord right into the light
assy at the passenger side brake light terminals and ran the cord up the
side where the hatch seals to the body. I tacked the cord with RTV to hold
it.

The cord goes up to the top right of the hatch where it follows the rear
window heater wires into the hatch thru a grommet. Remove your hatch trim
inside and you will be able to fish the wire down to the light.

Chris (JordanVW) requested some pix so when I get out of work I'll take some
detail shots and post the link to this thread.  I can't remember how I
attached the light to the hatch, but maybe I'll take a peek at that too.
