You need to realize that connecting this way does not give you a bright brake light. It lights up the parking lights as turn and brake and does not provide a dimmer parking light for night towing.
Not sure what the issue is.
Green wire would go to the right high power filament for RT turn and brake.
Yellow wire would go to the left high power filament for LT turn and brake.
Brown wire would go to both L and R low power filament for running lights.
White wire would go to the body of the bulb base on both sides for ground.
The brake and turnsignal would be bright for both sides. Did I miss something?
Connecting to the front of the 914 does not light up the 914 brake light. It only lights up the turn signal lamp and running. In many cases, this is a lower wattage and does not produce a brighter red as the brake light. When I am the driver following, I want to see a brake light, more intense, not just another lamp illuminate. It makes for a safer trip while towing to have a bright brake lamp.
Do what you guys want. I don't really care. For mine I will be lighting up the correct lamps on the 914. I already have extra wires to the rear of the car, so with a few diodes it's easy. Plus my solution is semi permanent and it only a matter of plugging in the trailer connector to the tow vehicle.
Just because it works doesn't make it right...
