    Thanks, Todd. Amazing write up.

    Anyone know if this process is the same for a California T? Thank you.

    one would think there would be a way to put a jumper at the fuse box to connect the trunk circular lights to operate as a brake lights.

    No problem and glad it can help so many others. I’d assume it must be similar. Try pulling the panels off and looking - that should only take maybe an hour.

    bus you are still compliant with three brake lights when your trunk is not open. Which is mandatory for safety.

    I followed the directions with success. Pretty much everything you mentioned, Todd, was true - especially the part about the tight quarters in the flexible rubber harness. My Cali is a ‘10 so I decided to add a backup camera at the same time and THAT wire set was impossible to get through the rubber so I did a bit of a piggyback on the backside of the factory route which works just fine.
