Yup, I already did that to my ride, it's very easy. I think I posted what I did to do it in the current projects thread, if not, just PM me and I'll be glad to help.

Falken, sure just let me know when the Tech-Day is happening and I'll see if I can make it. If I can't I can send you detailed steps with pics. Trust me, it's very easy and very basic wiring. All that's required is cutting wires, extending them, and tapping. Sounds involved, but its very easy. The hardest part was figuring out which wire on the brake light to tap into since it has 2 positives. I used my multi-meter to figure it out, so you guys don't have to worry.

Yup, I was just too lazy to go buy them since I already had some extra line taps from my sidemarkers project awhile back. Falken I don't have my digicam yet (my gf still using it), but I will get you the DIY by next week. If you need some quick diagrams or steps before then, just PM me.

Don't know, I offered to help, but doesn't seem like anyone's interested. In any case I took pics of my taillight wiring for this. So if anyones's interested, just PM me for the pics and some quick instructions (very easy to do).
