High mounted stop light (3rd brake light)
I have to put my Windom in for it's 6 monthly Warrant of Fitness (safety check)...
From what I can gather in NZ vehicles made after about 1990 have to have a high mounted stop light / 3rd brake light.
I suspect this is one of the many things the previous owner has messed with / removed / lost / etc
I've got the light to install, but I'm not sure it's a great idea for me to do it... I'm guessing it would be a fairly easy job perhaps taking an auto electrician an hour max???
Would an hour be a fair guess on time it should take?? Just wondering how much it's likely to cost me to have it done..

Decided I don't really want to pay someone to do this... I really can't afford it.
Any chance someone out there could give me some simple instructions for doing it myself???
I've got the light, I know where I want to put it so I need everything in between....
Light has 2 wires running off it, so I'm guessing it's a positive and a ground wire.... I have to install it in the rear window on or above the rear parcel shelf....
So I need to know where exactly to wire it to..... Can't find any ES300/Windom/Camry specific instructions as most seem to have the 3rd brake light from the factory, curse the previous owner!
