I’m adding a third brake light on the inside of the rear window. Can anyone save me some time with my multimeter under the dash and tell me the best place to pick up the brake lights wiring?

I picked up the brake signal at the driver side rear light fixture. Used a spade connector and a 2:1 male-female connector to make the connection. Taped the new wire to the existing wire loom. Connected the ground on the chassis lug behind the relay board.

Much easier than going through the tunnel. I mounted a corvette convertible / 944 light to the top of my engine lid. I added a connector, to make it easy to remove the engine lid. https://www.google.com/search?q=corvette+3r...=r8KXQMC5aeyQ1M |
