    Default VS Ute - wiring for third brake light - where is it and what colours

    Hi Guys
    Can anyone tell me what 2 colour wires from the existing loom do I need to attatch a 3rd brake light and does the loom run past the drivers seat towards the rear of the ute.

    Cheers in advance

    You need to locate the rear wiring harness and find a blue/red wire.This is the rear brake light 12v feed that runs from the brake light switch to the brake lights.Just tap into this wire.Its always worth trying to get a piece of the same wire/same colours from another wrecked car.It is much easier later on if you need to find something or check/test something.The earth wire is just a black wire in the same harness according to the wiring diagram.Use a multimeter to double check both the live and earth wires before actually tapping into them,just to be 100% sure its the right ones you have found.
