That would be me. I can't remember exactly what i did, but i found this post.

Hey mate im in the process of doing this.... what a p***k! Can you tell me what wire you tapped into? I am looking at the brown one which is on when you turn the lights on. Is this the right one?

Also when you brake does your LED strip get brighter like the tail lights?

Cheers mate

hi there.

it was quite a long time ago, but i think there's a blue wire with a red line on it - that's the brake light +12v. Just hook up to the chasis for an earth. I originally tried to use a black wire as a -12v but every time i pressed the brakes i got an ABS error popping up on the screen. I eventually just

Don't hook yours up to the brown one, or your light will be on all the time. The LED light is only designed to run when the brake pedal is pressed on - it's not two stage like the tail lights.
