Hmmm...can't figure out how to look at your gallery yet. New here. What did you do? I'm planning to use mine for camping so was thinking of using it for a micro fan ventilation duct. Is that what you did? I think that panel unscrews from inside of door with thumb screws like a tail light does donesnt it?

Hello Campcrazy. Just click on my name and then chose Gallery from the list on the left side of the screen. I originally bought the European third brake light to replace the roof mounted light. I decided against that idea and used it for a mount for a ham radio antenna. Yes, just unscrew it from the inside.

Hey like that ham mount! I might do the same thing for my portable cb radio's antenna. Either that or I'll use it as a fan ventilation port but I'd have to drill a hole in the inside back of the door for the air to flow through and I'd use a tiny fan with a mounting plate rigged up to match the existing thumb screws that hold the cover on. Fan would install inside of the tc door. A little screen across the drilled vent hole would keep mosquito's out when camping. When the fan isn't used I could just screw the factory cover plate back on.

Another idea for people would be to mount a light in that spot for outside lighting when camping or working behind the vehicle.

Looks like you bought a UK TC taillight and drilled through it to use as your mount? If I do an antenna rather than buying the lens I'll probably use a piece of thick rubber to mount and drill through. Don't want to drill out the stock cover in case I go back to that.
