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.

The bulb sockets for these are specific to the housing and the part number is AC DELCO LS39 and LS96. The wiring at the brake switch has to be modified but I can't remember how,I'm sure somebody will have the info here.

The brake light signal can be had by tapping into the CHMSL circuit. Much easier than doing it at the brake switch.
