picassa page and check em out.  I used some clearance lights with a dual
bulb fixture from one of the chain autoparts stores.  Not too difficult but
somewhat tedious routing the wires into the hatch.  The the primary bulb is
hooked directly to the running lights (taillights) and the second bulb
lights up with my brake lights...I wanted to have them blink as turn
signals, too, but I couldn't figure that out using the hardware and wires I
had in hand.
   These second lights, at following driver's eye level....better deal.
Also twice as bright for an overtaking vehicle on backroads..
