As long as you have verified that the wire in question only goes hot when the brake pedal is applied, there is no reason why you cannot use the wire intended for the bed cap third brake light. If you do not have a circuit tester, we offer one, part # PTW2993.

The Covercraft Sunbrella Custom-Fit Outdoor Vehicle Cover # C15944D4 that you referenced does not have a license plate panel.

I was in a situation where I had a car with expired tags that was getting ticketed because of that although it was just parked in my driveway. Putting a cover on the car was enough to... view full answer...
The Curt Class I Trailer Hitch, # 11749, should not require any rear fascia trimming or modification. The instructions do not list any steps for trimming, modification, and there are no notes regarding the receiver touching the rear fascia.

According to the installation instructions, you need to use the included thread sealant tape to install the two 3/8” NPT x 1/2” hose barbs into the sandwich adapter of the Derale Engine Oil Cooler # D15602.
