I used the BlueOx diode block to wire my lights. A wiring harness already ran under the sill plate, the plastic piece between the carpeting and exterior, under the door. I ran the new wires with the existing harness then tapped into the taillight wiring in the trunk.
When I wired the diodes and lights for my RAV4, I tied everything in at a junction block behind the driver's side kick panel instead of routing the wires all the way to the back. I used a multi-meter to find the right connection points.
I would have preferred to do it that way but the bundle of wires going to the trunk is about 1" around. Trying to separate the wires and find the correct ones would have been a nightmare. Our car has another fuse/relay panel in the trunk fed by that big bundle of wires. Locating the correct wires in the trunk was a lot easier. Out of the fuse panel in the trunk the conventional color codes are used, not so going into the fuse panel.
