Hi everyone,

Not sure if I have the right forum. I just finished installing a spoiler on my 05 camry, but not sure about hooking up the spoiler light. I was told to hook it up to the 3rd brake light. My first question would be should I just hook it up in parallel? I was also told the 3rd brake light has a sensor and I'm not sure if this would cause the sensor to give a cel?

Would anyone know what this connect is for? It seems to be spliced with the license plate lights. There is one on either side of the trunk lid. I will test the terminals tomorrow.

Thanks

Test the 3rd brake light output and see if it actually give you a full 12 volts when the brake is pressed. If it does, you should be able to use it in parallel with another light. Otherwise if it give you a low (+) output you can use a relay to boost the 12 volt signal and this will also work.

Hi ,

I tested the connector today and it does show power when the brake is depressed. Would you know where I can get the female connector for this? Or where I can purchase male/female connectors?
