Lee,the wiring is easy,the wire you need is already in the harness and stops at the rear bulkhead. I got some OEM connectors, installed a terminal in the open cavity in the plug,made the wiring harness for the lights,done. Here's the sketchy part,when your 3rd brake light circuit goes out at the switch,you have no brake lights. I did mine years ago,can't remember every detail but if you need a hand get in touch.

I tapped into the CHMSL circuit for the rear brake signal.

Those look very nice. Printed? I've got a set of those on my 99' FRC my father installed years ago.
