there are two wires coming off the light... what should i splice them into??

id imagine one is for a ground.. and one attaches to the sensor for the hatch when it is open... but i can only imagine.

im stumped?

I have one in my hatch. It's actually a dome light from an eg.

Anyways...I wired it into the dome light and I set the switch to "off" so it doesn't come on with the front doors. it was trial and error to figure out which wire was which.

well to power the trunk light you need to remove the rear passenger side panel to be able to tap to a plug located behind the panel.
once you have removed the panel there should be 2 plugs, one is grey and one is like brown. the grey plug is the one you will be tap'n. tap white wire with red stripe for constant 12v source and tap blue wire with black stripe for trunk latch switch which will be your ground wire. then connect the other ends of the wires to the trunk light. doesn't matter which wire goes to which on the trunk light. vwala! you have light!
