Has anyone installed one of these. How hard was it to install? I was thinking today that I could hook it up to turn on with the brake light, how hard would this be to do?

I helped a friend put one of these in her Civic. It's easy. Just remove the factory emblem and pop out the plastic retaining anchors. You should be able to run the two wires through the anchor holes and the emblem adheres to your trunk exterior by adhesive tape. These two wires go to a small transformer that's supplied with the emblem. You can mount the transformer anywhere on the inside of the trunk lid using double sided adhesive tape. Connect the two power wires coming out of the transformer to whatever source you want to activate the emblem. Usually you'd want to connect it to the taillights so it comes on with the taillights. You could also connect it to the brakelight, the easiest option for our TL since the third brake light wires are more easily accessible. Either way, you would need to buy wire taps to tap into the existing wires and string it along the trunk arm beneath the grey cloth insulation to your emblem transformer.

The results are real cool on a Civic. I don't know if it would look right on an Acura TL, so I haven't done it to my car yet.
