[QUOTE="jrandy, post: 10711258, member: 69042"] I have one concern that hopefully someone can explain... It appears that the wire being tapped into feeds the 3rd brake light only which, being an LED light, is going to only have a very small amperage draw and thus has a very small gauge supply line. The brake lights are using a total of 6 27 watt bulbs which will draw almost 14 amps on full load. The supply line being tapped into in this modification appears insufficient to manage that load. This has been evidenced on a car with this mod showing substantial resistance at the connection point and melting of the insulating jacket. On this note, what is the color of the wire in the main harness that originally fed the brake lamps? (There may be two as it appears the left and right utilize independent circuits). Thanks [/QUOTE]
