I did the wiring.I'm in 213. its simple there's 3 wires on the 3rd brake light white is ground and the red positive the black is also positive you can use black or red wire. and for the bumper marker to parking / turn signals modification right now I running Dual Circuit Converters. it's $5 a pairhttp://canadiancruisercustomizing.co...products_id=13 * Allows a 2 wire LED to Function as a 3 wire LED
* Convert a 2 wire LED to function as a Running Light/Brake Light or Running Light/Turn Signal
* Works on all LED PVC strips, Pods, 5050 Strips & 1156 LED Replacement bulbs
* Excellent for additional side marker lighting or adding running/brake lights
* Easy to install
* No heat issues
I didn't like the way it flashes with the parking lights on.so I order some Drugz Circuits The circuit is another way to have a single intensity work as a dual function light. This circuits allows your light to run at full power and when the turn signal is activated it turns the light off and then flashes back to full power. Giving a high contrast when using the turn signals. http://radiantz.com/cart/index1.html?c5.html&1

would have been nice if it worked. I might just connect it to turn signal only.
