hey guys, I'm wondering how to add a wire in the liftgate's loom because I want to install my back-up lights on either side on my licence plate.
already found me a good ground back there, bu still need to get my lights some power...I've wired all the way to the top of the back just before the liftgate, but now I'm stuck
thanks
FRED

Fred, I managed to remove the seal that has the stock wires in it and thread a 10g wire through. I resealed it with RTV sealant and it hasn't given me any problems. Having decent backup lights sure beats the wimpy stock ones.

I managed to wire it on the pass side instead
it works O.K., I can only get one light to work, when I plug the other the fuse blows?
no shorts anywhere, 25 amp fuse 2 100w lights ?
