IIRC, it was @jscherb
So, I was looking at this cord in my jeep today and a light bulb went on (doesn't happen that much anymore, lol). I wonder if i can find this type wire to install where i now have the wire loom, so it extends and recoils?
I'll update after more research.

Good idea. I didn’t like the loom idea.
Are you guys still rambling about adding contacts and wires and whatnot? There’s no need! Ground to the tailgate and you can run two separate circuits into the tailgate through the original contacts. I’ve got brake lights, running lights, and a license plate light going to my Kentrol tailgate license plate holder (which is much better than the Hooke Road Amazon special or the “high-end” ones with their branding laser cut into the mount). Works flawlessly using the original contacts.

Yes I have thought about doing this. I just didn't now how good the ground would be as my hinges were all corroded.Are you guys still rambling about adding contacts and wires and whatnot?

But are they constantly on (license light, etc.)? That's what I was wanting--only on when headlights are on. Maybe I'm missing something, I don't know?
