How do you hide the rear wiring to the tail lights? Any suggestions?

I never use the truck tub. It adds weight. Did I mention that I lost 25lbs myself. Every little bit counts.
Its really not too difficult. There is a multi-pin connector near the pressure tanks. It has a pin which secures it to the wheel housing. remove the connector. It may be easier to work with if you break the connector. Mark the leads and remove the tail lights, disconnect any grounds and disconnect the wiring harness from the tail lights, fan, side markers, etc. Then pull the entire wiring harness out. Run the wiring harness through the right rear wheel well. I covered the harness with heavy duty shrink wrap and secured it to the railing. There is a gap in the wheel well between engine compartment and the tail light housing. Run a flexible piece of wiring through, then attach the wiring harness and pull the harness through. You may have to add some jumpers to extend some wires. The wiring to the left side can be pushed through the gap behind the rear deck lid latch. Let me know if you need any assistance.
Husker why does your explaination sound so much better than George's...

Do you think one day we will have wireless wiring? Just a bunch of tiny receivers and no wires! Somebody get on that and get back to us!

And what, a bunch of little batteries for each light bulb?
I CAN see wireless information transmission, such as is now being done with tire pressure sensors, being adapted to temp, pressure,rpm, etc. gauges.
The wires are gone. It looks a lot cleaner. The Italian way of doing things is a mystery.
