Anyone got this? The one I got has an afterthought high-mount brake lamp and I want to wire it to the brake switch (well... a relay from said switch) so it won't be blinking with the left blinker.

just take a test light to both connections on the brake light switch to find out which is the brake light side. then just tap a wire to it and to the brake light. why not remove the thing? they are ugly lol

I would remove the thing... but then you'd see all the holes in the rear dash carpet. So I'm gonna leave it. Will the switch leg from the brake switch hold the current for 3 1141 bulbs?
edit: also want to keep it because lots of idiot drivers don't understand that cars have tail lights for brakes other than that high mount one.Last edited by sly; 08-05-2010, 09:52 PM.

of course I could put my "ROB the robot" brake light in there like I did when I had the Pontiac ParisienneAttached Files

ok... broke out the multimeter and went to town on the car. the connector going to the brake peddle switch has hot in at top and out at the bottom. Tapped that line and ran it down the driver side channel then behind the rear arm rest and into the trunk where the other wire was waiting to be connected. Soldered the join in the trunk but used a line tap crimp on the brake peddle switch. Works like a champ. Flashes with the hazards but not the blinkers so that will work for me. 104F with a heat index of 114F. Even in the shade of the garage, it was rough. Went through a half gallon of Gatorade.
