What Fisdad did may be good enough, but do consider it's a nice heating element against the plastic tail light assembly *EEK!!*

Do also consider that you don't have to mount it AT the tail light itself ... just on the wiring to it.

I'd still mount it securely to the metal of the body and put some heat sink compound between it and the metal. But I'm an olde phart 'tronicist, and can't stand a heat producing element that's there to waste voltage and current sitting by such a massive heat sink without USING said heat sink *grins*
