Default Led 3rd brake light

Hey guys,

First post so please excuse the noob!!

I have a 2005 LS430 UK model.

I'm trying to wire in a 3rd brake light, being an led strip mounted across the top of the rear window. Now it has several modes and I want to use most of them.

Thing is wiring it up isn't as simple as I first thought being that the rear lights are led and I have no idea which wire colours do what.



Can anyone help explain which wires I need to tap into to enable the side light and brake lights to work on the strip. Im not massively bothered to have the turn signals parts work.

Hope someone can clear things up for me

Thanks, Glenn
