Not sure if it will work myself but just out of curiosity, where do you plan on putting the tail lights?
I`ve been looking at getting a wagon but I hate where the tail lights are and thought of a few ideas for them.

I WAS THINKING PUT AN LED STRIP BETWEEN THE BUMPER AND TAILGATE.

i would try a roll pan with out any cutouts for lights, and take the tail lights out of a 90's deville and have them flush mounted on either side of the tailgate. saw it on an el camino once and it looked pretty sick.

THOUGHT ABOUT A ROLL PAN, BUT I DONT REALLY LIKE THEM. BESIDES THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO DEATH, I WANT TO TRY SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

That idea with the DeVille tail lights sounds good- I'm always paranoid when driving my wagon, as the lights are so low and in the bumper, a lot of people, especially tailgaters, don't see them. And there is no easy way to mount a center tail light with the hatch glass. Just a thing to be aware of when driving a wagon or elky, watch out behind you.

This is the only reason I like for my car to smoke. People back way off so then they can see my tail lights. LOL.

rear lights

Try putting hi-level lights on the deflector, I put land rover ones on mine after some idiot rear ended me in Belgium.
