It fits right over the wiper motor just like the factory cover and screws in so there shouldn't be any issues with sizing. You can see this in the install video in the original post if you want to take a look!How much, if any, larger is the new housing/light? Any issues there?
This was easier than I thought. I got the idea from another owner and I'd like to give him credit, but I can't remember his name. It may have been on one of the Brawlee cargo light threads.Tips or a write up would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I ran the wire for the light inside the cover... pry it off gently with a panel-tool thingy. Don't He-Man it off... you can snap the tabs. No exposed wire.
I used a fish tape starting from here... it slides in & up and pulls the wire through fairly smoothly...there's a little bit of resistance on the way back down, but don't yank it. I wouldn't recommend a wire hanger... it's too rigid & certainly not flexible when you push upwards.
Secured to the existing harness
Plenty of room for the additional wire

Thank you... it was pretty short & basic. I'm perfectly ok with you linking to your site. You've all been good to me.Great write up! Are you ok if we link to your post from our website?
Which Posi-taps did you use and what did you tap them into? Trying to get everything ordered at once so I can get it done without 5 runs to Home Depot!Thank you... it was pretty short & basic. I'm perfectly ok with you linking to your site. You've all been good to me.

Seconding this question - can you elaborate a bit on the taps and what you tapped into?Which Posi-taps did you use and what did you tap them into? Trying to get everything ordered at once so I can get it done without 5 runs to Home Depot!
I'm pretty sure he tapped into the wires that go to the 12v cigarette lighter socket in the rear storage area. I would assume that the taps he used were something like this. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CMC5DII/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Seconding this question - can you elaborate a bit on the taps and what you tapped into?
@psdtime has it right... That's what I did, and those are what I used. Some 12-gauge wire & you'll have all you need.Which Posi-taps did you use and what did you tap them into? Trying to get everything ordered at once so I can get it done without 5 runs to Home Depot!
I would assume that the switch is optional, correct? Doesn't the Oracle light have its own push button?@psdtime has it right... That's what I did, and those are what I used. Some 12-gauge wire & you'll have all you need.
Yes... the switch is optional... it's a kill switch so the power isn't 'always on.' The power buttons are on the light itself. One for the actual light, another for a flashing red.I would assume that the switch is optional, correct? Doesn't the Oracle light have its own push button?
You have that hooked up to your rear cargo light? Wouldn't that require the ignition to be on for the light to work?this is what I used! Plug and play no wire tap.

Are the lighted buttons on the light housing always on? Is that why you decided to put the kill switch? Seems like a good addition to stop the constant draw of the lights.Yes... the switch is optional... it's a kill switch so the power isn't 'always on.' The power buttons are on the light itself.

I believe they were on when the unit was plugged in. I got into the habit of unplugging when I wasn't driving.Are the lighted buttons on the light housing always on? Is that why you decided to put the kill switch? Seems like a good addition to stop the constant draw of the lights.
