Just bought one of these from fleabay tonight, genuine article. Anyone else fitted one or know where to wire it into ?

As an aside, I notice when I'm driving that I tend to focus on the high level brake light of the car in front and not the two lower level brake lights. That's why I wanted a third light.

No fitting guide, but the wiki does highlight the wire colours you should be looking for:

Don't fooking tell me that there's a special shelf which comes with it. Surely a couple of self tappers will be sufficient to secure the coont ?? :hammer:
