This is my car. I upgraded with powered later latch

Now that I know where the trunk light goes, what do I do with the wire that comes out at the bottom of the trunk lid?  I've seen photos of it attached to the hinge with a wire tie and also just hanging loose.  Which is correct?

Well, I think the wire tie looks better than just having the wire hanging loose.  Thanks for the quick response!   :cheers:

Trunk lid light goes right next to the latch on the lid. It is a mercury switch so there is no need for a switch to activate it.
