I think likewise.
But the Honda CRV's were nifty in that there was an empty sector in the rear light assembly, so I had a separate tail/brake light placed here with its own wiring.
after a disasterous first-time towing experience with diodes I did the same with my Jeep Wrangler...separate tail light bulbs and a totally independent wiring harness for them used exclusively when towing.
On the other hand, I've been towing RAV4's since 2008 that I've fully wired using diodes so all rear lights function normally including the high center brake light, with zero problems in 45,000+ towing miles. All of my wiring tie-ins were done behind the driver's side kick panel, with no need to route wires all the way to the back.
