metal strip 'wiring' to the foglight socket, then run a separate wire up to
a switch on the dash. You might have to jumper something to keep the regular
taillights, though. A Dremel tool with a cut-off wheel would work fine here.

noticed I don't get tailgated quite as much at night as during the day...
