I would not consider this a “simple” mod on a 5th Gen. If you’ve taken your back hatch apart before you’ll know what’s involved in fishing a wire harness through the hatch door, through the rubber hatch boots, into the headliner and down into the rear brake/reverse light access panel. Not super difficult but it will take you a good amount of time and determination. (As in installing the Ultimate Camping mod). And you’ll have to drill thorough the hatch and then seal it. Set aside a long day or two to do it.
It would probably be a good idea for some member to act as a guinea pig and get a light assembly, set it in the proper position, temporarily connect it to +12 volts at night, and see if it’s worth the effort to install it. Take photos and write up a review in this thread. Maybe XD could send a complementary one out for review. Then we all can decide on a group buy.
Edit:
Some suggestions for XD: The wire length of 1.5 meters is not enough for the 5th gen 4R. You’ll need at least 2 meters for all the routing and strain relief that needs to be done. Plus the twin lead wiring is rather fragile for this. It would be better to include a two conductor plastic coated cable that would withstand all the abrasion, bending, and tugging that will be done when fishing it through the 4R hatch and rear pillar innards.
