I'll be the contrarian here, and ask if you would consider using a battery-powered rear light instead of having ugly runs of wire to the rear light. Dynamo rear lights are usually running at 0.3 watts, so even one AA-sized Eneloop will have enough for more than 10 hours of operation (>3 watt-hour for Pro Eneloops). If your riding schedule is regular, you can recharge the battery on a schedule, or just carry a spare that will probably last until you get home. Going a bit further, you can also mount two rear lights for extra visibility.
Please note that this is a different case for front lights. Front lights usually consume about 3 watts, so carrying a spare battery may not be convenient; moreover, losing a front light is typically much more of a problem than losing a rear light, because there should (hopefully) be reflectors that serve as battery less backups, and one cannot install more sensitive retinas into one's eyes (à la cats). Of course, this is all in context of a frame+fork that doesn't have the internal wire routing option.
