since I have no wing,and no third brake light since I removed it.,I decided to reinstall it because my brake lights are kind of dark.
1, remove screws and pull out brake light from the removed wing.
2. attach double sided tape,plug light into plug it came out of(under the plastic ),and stick in preferred location.
3.can ya see me now!?

^^ I've got the actual housing the third brake light is supposed to sit in when it is in the hatch if you want to fab something up. Might be able to mount a red light strip in it or something.

I actually did this diy too the other night since i took my wing off. But i think my install is a lil bit more complex and cleaner than this.
I might try to get some pics of it so i can show u guys what im talkin bout. Cause i did mine a little differently. Overall im happy with it, and i think it looks pretty sweet!
