The orange wire runs to the BCM which powers the factory fog lamp.
Hopefully this is the wire you cut to splice into the rear brake light harness. Do not want to have +12V connected to the BCM output.


Bottom line is that you got it to work the way you want it.....good job!!
Thanks. Yes it is an orange wire that goes from the foglight to the BCM. By snipping it at the junction of the tail light loom, it takes that wire out of the BCM circuit and you can easily hook it up to the brake or tail light which are right next to it. That's the beauty of this mod.
