Evening, all! I've got a brake light on the top of my rear window. It is about 2x20 cm, sticks to the glass with double sided tape. I just lifted the rear hatch gasket off, and put the wires into the slot in the gasket, and pushed it in place. Then it just exits the gasket just above the right taillamp, and into the engine compartment via the hole for the taillight. Then I just put on one of those quick connectors, that you just put on to the wire. Works just fine, and is very visible!
