I used a little "Goop" to fill in the void and secure the panel, then painted a frame around the light to help pretty it up a little...it still needs something to finish it off, it still looks kinda crappy to me, but it works really well.

It's really bright now, I call it my chandelier :)

^^THAT is a freaking good idea!! I'm stealing it. Scions have a light like our hatch bay lights, but with a switch. i'll get that into the hatch itself so i can turn it on and off :D thanks. lol.

Since I shaved my rear wiper, but still have the control and the wires run to where the motor was I thought about wiring it up to that switch so I could control it from up front...I'll probably get around to that when I figure out a final fix for the appearance.

Enjoy!
