My Plan:
The same could be built using LED aftermarket units.  Magnet strip added to the 
bottom if not purchased that way  The electric lead goes into the trunk and 
connects with brake wires.    I am planning for mine to be at the trailing edge 
of the trunk so that I don't have to worry about being blocked by something on 
the luggage rack.   Removal will be to just open trunk and drop it in.  May add 
a on/off switch at the wire connection rather than bullet or spade connectors.

Since add-on 3rd lights are (at best) non-original and (at worst)
fugly -- I use one that can be removed when I don't want it there. It
is 1/2 of a set of magnetic towing lights connected to the harness
with a couple of bullet connectors for quick detachment.

I did add a soft cloth pad (made from an old sweatshirt) to protect
the paint as I doubted that plastic bottom would not scratch. Also a
good idea to keep that spot well-waxed and dust it off before setting
th light in place.
