Yep! That's exactly what I did.........tapped into the third brake light. Instead of using splicer tabs, I sliced, stripped, twisted and liquid soldered the wires together. I installed my spoilerdepot spoiler in June 2004 and haven't had a problem yet. Good luck......the toughest part is physcologically overcoming having to drill holes in your nicely finished 4 Runnner's hatch. Once you get the first one drilled---------the other three are EASY. You will be proud of yourself when you are done.
Oh BTW, the third brake light just pops out of its holding area. Use a small screwdriver with masking tape and slowly pop out the light. I threaded the spoiler wiring through the hollow hatch door up to the brake lamp wiring. Also, my original third brake lamp is STILL OPERATIONAL. I did this in case the fiberglass spoiler accidently got ripped off or broken I'd still have the rear brake lamp usage while the holes are plugged.
