Use the supply side wire tthe left brake light tsupply power tthe red wire on the flasher unit. Connect tw16-inch lengths of wire tthe striped wire leaving the flasher unit. Connect one of these wires teach of the trunk's brake lights where you made your original cut. Properly secure the right side supply side wire as it will nlonger be used.
