Being that the CHMSL law is 20 years old, it seems
unsafe *not* to have one nowadays. Well, as of this
morning, I didn't.

Mother Volvo put hers in the rear window. I'm not
betting on finding those bits in the JY. Mr. Stern
offers a nice-looking stick-on LED unit, but my
experience is that nothing sticks for long. Besides, I
don't want/need to have *more* wires running to the
'gate.

Say, a surface-mount might be nice. GM had a nice LED
unit on SUV and Astro/Safari vans. $4 at the JY.

Coupla carefully measured holes in the roof, run a
wire to the brake switch so as not to upset the "bulb
out" sensor. Et voila!

(next time I bring a 12v source with me so I can get
one where *all* the LEDs work :( )
