I recently saw a on car I was following behind closely in rush hour traffic, a set of really bright auxiliary brake lights mounted on a license plate holder. These lights look like the bright 6 inch LED lights on either side of the rear license plate of police Ford Explorers. I did an internet search and came across Whelen. There is a model named IONR.
I would like some advise on how to wire these. Specifically how to wire them though the rear license plate light gasket. The other alternative is to drill a hole (think rust) through the rear deck. Both approaches would allow me to hopefully splice the wire to the rear brake light mounted at the top edge of the rear windshield.
I do have a trailer hitch and had the car wired for trailer lights. Another option I was considering is to mount the lights on the flat surface of what is considered the rear diffuser by means of a bracket bolted on to the plastic (non rusting) diffuser. Seeking advise on this planned project. Doing it because I want brighter brake lights than what the car came with.
Thanks
