The process is as follows:

1. Pull the trunk paneling away
2. Locate the wires going to the brake light assembly.
3. Pull back the electrical tape and expose the wires of both the subharness going to the rear and the wires running to the brake/tail light.
4. Dig in the harness and pull up the yellowish wire.
5. Cut the wire. This is the key since it runs to the BCM.
6. Join the yellowish wire to the green wire coming from the brake light. Either solder or butt connector.
7. Plug in your fog light to the oem connector.

You now have a 4th brake light without using an outside harness. The ground wire is already grounded. You don't even have to remove the tail light.

I would recommend doing up a DIY post in DIY section, otherwise this will eventually get lost in the pile of the rest of new threads. Or ask the mods to move this there. At least there it would be easier to find.
