The top of the light bars were flat enough for me to use 2 sided tape. I did use EdR5150's write up on how to run the wires here - http://www.16908.info/?p=1161

I used the Knight Riderz light bar model LB01S - http://www.customdynamics.com/knight..._light_bar.htm They sell them on their website and on eBay.
I didn't care for the Knight Rider sequential lights and the flashing brake lights. They are expensive, but worth it for being just the right size to hide. The keyword, per DMC-81, and what I was going for is "incognito".

I'm curious if used a piece of aluminum angle to transition the back side 3M to the underside of the upper louvre?
I installed a similar setup 20 years ago but they were designed for 90 degree mounting with 3M tape. The only issue I had with the install was the original adhesive tape would let go from the louvre on occasion due to Solar Heating of the louvre. I fixed that be using white 3M VHB tape.
These units came from JCWhitney but were discontinued years ago.

I'm also very interested in what you did to deal with the "90 degree mounting" issue.
I would like to put in a 3rd brake light, but wasn't sure how to mount them so they point back and not down (assuming the backside surface is what you're taping it directly to).
