yeah i wired it to a switch, love it b/c i can run it like a rear fog in daytime, don't need my headlights to be one. just ask lebren and he'll hook you up with extra wire. i got a switch from a local auto store.
dude, lebren, i swear i took more pics but i haven't had internet at home in days/weeks!! so frustrating. looks like you're getting some other pics though

First I apologize for the late reply! Make sure there's a solid layer of RTV and that it reaches the edges of the lens. If you touch the lens when spreading the RTV with your finger it's probably too thin of a layer. I'll do my best to get an image up so you can see how thick it should be.

Remove the light, and as much of the RTV as you can from the Accent/lens bond. Remove as much double sided tape as possible that was on there before. Avoid using more double sided tape, and remember there are 2 steps to RTV.
1) Apply the lens to the accent and smear/smooth the RTV.
and
2) after smoothing and curing (give the RTV an hour at least) then use a second layer over the existing one to adhere the entire assembly to the bumper.
Too much RTV will make a really tight fit that won't allow the light to fit 100%
