Question Wiring Spoiler Lip To Brake Lights?

Anyone got a link/pdf or can tell me what wires I tap into the rear brake lights to my spoiler lip?

It's got a pig tail with a black and red wire.

I can't give you a PDF, but if you have a multi meter, pull off one of the plugs to your brake lights, and apply your brakes, and find out where you only get 12v under braking, then tie into those two wires. That's what I did on my old Honda when I put a spoiler with a light in it.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Most of the time when installing a spoiler, we disconnect the original center brake light and use those 2 wires to power the new light.

Follow original wire routing around the trunklid hinge.
