Daryl, Don't hold out on me! What's the setup? Have some photos or documentation of parts dealers and the wiring diagram you used? I.e. what wires you tapped into at the tail light assemblies? IMHO I think it is best to either flush mount to the rear hatch interior window with an silicone or expoxy and use a sheet of arcrylic plexiglass that has been frosted on one and polished shiny on the other, this way it will pickup the light of the LED and radiate across a larger space. Either that or mounted on the Hatch. I would like to see anything you have if you don't mind. Thanks, Rob
