Rear brake light switch?
thanks but which one is it - colour / location etc - much appriciated....
Well, it's the one that starts at the brake light switch... heck, I don't know. I'd get my meter out and trace it.

I popped the fuse box up from the two little tabs and used my meter to find a ignition lead. I tapped into the wire right below the fuse box. I the mounted the relay for the lights on the back side of the factory relays. I pulled the side cover off to gain access and then just screwed it into the plastic. I will try and take a pic in the morning
Two things, I'm not a fan of Scotchlocks for tapping into wires because they can damage the wire you cut into and allow corrosion in but nevertheless do use them occasionally. When I do I use them I give the inside a squirt of silicone to keep it dry.
Second, you did tap into the fused side of the box so any short in your relay is protected?
Skotchlocks yeuch, and that's coming from a Scotsman :lol:

Two valid points. I forgot to mention to tap into the fused side. After you have found the ignition feed pull the fuse to make sure it is fused. It is a very simple test.
As for scotchblocks, personally I never use them because they just do not last. I solder everything and then shrink wrap, or I use weather proof aircraft grade but connectors.
