Does anyone know which wire to tap in the taillight assembly for brake lights? I have the clearance and turn signals but there does not seem to be anywhere to get the trigger wire for the brake lights. The brake lights are on the same wire as the clearance lights but just run at a higher voltage.

What is everyone else using for wiring? BMW is no help and I see people on here with trailers...

2004 545I

Thanks,

Jeff

The Brake lights and the tail-lights are the same. The tail-lights just get brighter when you press the Brake.
