Subject:GW third break light install was Facebook doesn't work

Hi Mark, 

Back on topic, Can you tell me about your brake light install.  That is one of the first things I want to do when the van returns.

I read the directions with a friend and man it looked complicated to me.

It was months ago but doesn’t it go something like this 

1 cleverly run the wire under the window rubber over to the defroster wire 
Somehow get it through the rubber tube into the van 
Magically reach it and pull it down toward the engine compartment 
Find a way in to the Engine compartment 
Find a friend with eyes to find the correct wire on the driver’s side light. 
Tap into the wire and prey!

Ugh, I still plan to do it but I can’t say it looks like fun!

How did you navigate through all those tight places?

Please don’t make me go to Facebook to ask!

Did you have to do that to install yours?  Other then finding a person to identify the wire?
