No it wouldn't be hard to add or spice the wires on the drivers side inner fender it also depends on what type light you have, in the hatch glass or under the rear spoiler
was there already an existing light there?

well the wires are under the pad buy the latch and the contacs are on the hatch so trace your wires from the pad back or tap your wires to the ones on your pad to your tale lights, do you understand what i mean by pad? its a square metal plate devided, right next to the trunk latch
