Default Brake light wire?

I have retrofitted LCI tail lights in my Pre LCI wagon. Previous owner did it and wired them in. The LED bars are hard wired to come on anytime the vehicle is in the acc/ON position or running of course. when the headlights are on the original 2 bulbs still come on as running and brake lights. It ruins the whole look when those bulbs are still on with headlights. Im looking for a wire to tap into or run to tap into a wire that only gets power when brakes are activated. I thought Third Brake light but that seems to not light it. (I also have LED bulbs installed). When I tap into the third brake light wire, I Get a "third Brake light Failure" However without the tap, its fine and Normal. Any ideas?

I simply add devoted blinker lights for the back as John says. It gives me a pardon to add some cool early lights. I can't bear motorcycling lights however a duke blinker switch merits some early lights to make it work. Tutuapp 9Apps Showbox
