I've had them since around 2003/2004:

And there are a couple of ways to accomplish it...there's the more "professional" method where you buy pins and wires and add them to the electrical connector...or the "lazy method" (the one I took) where you just solder a wire between the runners (see brown wire):

Great mod. On European models, are those the rear foglights?

Yes...the quad brake light mod makes use of the bulb/bulb holder that is intended for the rear fog lights. :)

BTW...the lights are only as bright as normal brake lights...the image I posted above is just for photographic affect...the image below is more "normal". :D
