Made up a tool bag with a 10mm in the glove box and a set of wrenches, basic sockets, multi screw driver, cresent wrench, needle nose vise grips, a tire plug kit, and gloves. Next the spare tire and jack with a torque wrench and socket for the wheels.
Did the led spoiler single function for brake light. Just removed the top panel after cleaning the plastic thing with alcohol and using her blow dryer to activate the adhesive to be sure it stuck to the rear. Then soldered the wires into the leads to the third brake lite nothing fancy but it works and people seem to give me a little more rear bumper space.
Did the motion sensor LED for the charge port as I don't want the light blazing all night while the car is plugged in so it turns off after 20 seconds of no movement and relights when we go to remove the J-plug. Pretty simple I used a fuse tap in the 50 spot for the washer for the positive and grounded it to the battery. Hard part was getting the charge port ring/door out to do the drilling for the leds and sensor.

Parts list for the 4th tail light. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DSCVZJ6?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details with solder and heat shrink tubing I already had.
For the motion sensor I used https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09KPNWX5V?ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details&th=1 for the motion sensor, 4 ft of 20 gauge red and black wire, 30" 1/4 inch wire loom, Mini fuse tap with a 5 amp fuse, 20 gauge spade connector for the ground, leds,and solder and heat shrink tubing. Most of the supplies I had lying around from other projects, dash cams, usb ports, lighter outlets and car lighting in other cars.
Original idea for this is from DIY hardwired, motion activated LED charge port light

Wow! Love that Spoiler Brake Light. See it on Amazon. Just gotta find someone to install for this electrically challenged individual 😃
