There are two wires that need connected. A ground and the brake light source. I wired mine by running wire as you appear to have started, through the grill thing that is removed to do the torsion bars, and went over and down the open tunnel in the left rear fender panel above the window in the panel (it is your right if you are at the back of the car facing the engine). It opens up at the base and you can easily continue to run the wire down and in behind the tail light/brake light assembly. When you remove the assembly, find a black wire for the ground or add a ground wire to the ground at the frame. There is a junction ground screwed to the frame that has probably never been cleaned so now would be a good time to do it. It is fairly easy to find and get to. There is also a grounding junction right there at the fender where you will be threading the wire down to the brake light wire. Then, find the green/purple brake light wire and tap into it with the other wire. That's it. Mine has been on since 89 and I certainly feel better it is there. I drilled holes in my louvers to install the light and it sure made the louvers more rigid. Harold McElraft - 3354 --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Mike Walsh" <yahoo@xxxx> wrote: > Hi Everyone.
