Installing JDM rear fog light as a brake light

I would imagine that you want to install it like an EvoR light.

That install is the typical " run wires up into the car" install. I believe I can use the wires already in the car, but can't find anyone who has done this.

You can't. I attempted to use the factory connector hoping that I could use Consult III to "turn it on" but it doesnt work. We don't have the harness for the switch/button.

I ran mine as a 4th tail light and just tapped into the license plate connector for ease.

That's because it's disconnected on the other end by the steering wheel. I'm trying to determine if I can use the existing wire loom to cut and tap into the left tail light.

You will need to tap into one of the tailight harnesses. Follow the iJDMTOY DIY.
