DIY: of complete FOG LAMP install

This may be a stupid question, but how does the molding you removed in the beginning go back on? does it just push back to where it was?

What molding pieces you talking about? The interior trunk plastic molding?

No, the molding that you have to remove to remove the plastic liners... looks like a rain guard, soft, pliable....

lift up the weather strip and look inside the groove... you should see the imprint of where it once sat, there's usually two in there, so you can see how the other one is situated.

Default An incredible amount of info, but??

Okay, loving the idea of having one of these lights on my 10'. Just need to see if anyone is using the LED variant the Z-Store now has available. Almost like this idea more thinking that I won't have to worry about replacing bulbs along with a better match to the LED running lights. Also, after reading about all of the variations of install, would like to have the option of turning it off or on, but most importantly, to have it as an additional brake light. People always on my a%#. Feedback and comments dearly appreciated.
PS, getting ready to install new tuner, so thinking I can do all of the wiring at one time.

I've got the Z-Store LED variant and it works great. It's wired to flash in reverse, and come on solid with my brake lights.

Do you mind if I ask you a couple of question? First off, how does this unit mount? Don't show it as having the same backing as the normal style, or does it slip "into" the blank filler housing? . Also, did you wire in the on/off switch they sell too, or did you just tie into the existing rear wires. All i'm wanting to have is the blinking for backup along with the extra brake light. Will send thanks in advance. Wasn't sure if I should have sent you a PM or not.
