Are you connecting this in parallel with the existing boot light? If so how did you get the wire from the side to where the light is - without taking the rear parcel shelf out?

i took out the passenger side back seat release lever, there's enough room to thread the wires inside it, i then passed them through the passenger side boot support bracket (dunno the proper name for it)
