Picture is of brake light switch connector under dash.
We tapped into the WHITE wire for the brake light signal (red wire on the controller) Test to be sure, it must power on when the brake pedal is pushed.
Battery feed was taken from the main fuse panel (under the hood)
The Ground wire (white) was grounded under the dash (see screw in picture )
We used a 15 amp circuit breake under the hood to power a battery feed both to the brake controller, and the 12 volt power to the plug at the back

Brake light switch close up. Squeeze top of plug to pull out connector to make it easier to reach wires.
We used a common tail light kit, then wired it to a standard 7 way plug.
