Default 6gen tail lamp mod

I was messing around with a spare set of oem tail lamps and came up with an idea. I've seen this type of work done on previous generation accords, but never on a 6gen. I have extra light socket sets and thought I would add a extra light bulb setup to each side of the trunk light, so that at night the whole lamp will light up. I already have the bulbs and sockets rigged up to the back of the lamps and all that's left is to wire it up and install. I made a digital image to show my setup. If anyone has tried this before, let me know how it works. Any ideas or suggestions, please...

Yes, that's a MA plate. Basically I want the lights to light up all the way across like on the left side, because right now it looks like the right side, I just want to make it look a little different than all of the other accords around town, it still looks pretty common at the moment...

if it possible, it worth a shot. have you looked at the back side of the trunk lid? can get to the socket holes? actually, that seems like a lot of effert having to wire the lights to the rear lights. i vae other things id do first. like some red/clears

Default light project finished

I have finished this project and it works. The only holes I had to drill were in the tail lamp itself and I spliced the wires in with the existing tail lamps. I will explain more if anyone is interested, but for now just a few pics.
