SHIFT_over.so.I.can.see
careful dremmeling would do teh job... splice off of the other brake wires. I did it before on my civic to light up a part that didn't light up.

You'd need a 3-wire connector, 3-connector socket, and new 2-filament bulbs as well. Running brake light power from the center high-mount brake light will be somewhat like running wiring for the wing spoiler brake light, with some extra splicing.

I popped the reflector out the other day and saw it would be easy to do this, so I ordered a couple of hyperwhite LEDs off Ebay. I'll splice it into the rear lights so they are on when the headlights come on. I'll post pictures when I'm done.
