You don't tap in back there man...run a line to the battery...fuse it within 18 Inches of the battery to keep from burning down your evo if and when the line shorts out and run that to the back on a switch.

Ya but do you want the lights to turn on when the trunk is open? If it's just a light bar there's no problem with tapping the power line from your trunk light source. Also if it's for your stereo shouldn't you already have a 4-8 gauge power wire and a remote turn-on lead? That should be coming off your battery and fused if installed correctly. I
