It will come with a little printout of what wires to tap into what wires based on how you want it do perform.

3 wires from EVO-R
Black
Red
White

Most people try to tap into the wires on the plug of a brake light, I found this to be incredibly time consuming and dangerous cause if you mess up, you might not be able to get enough wire to get to the plug. I pulled out the panels inside the trunk and found the pass through for the rear interior panel and tapped into the wires there. Instead of cutting/splicing, there are wire taps you can just clip on to both wires to save time. Super easy.

Can't remember off the top of my head which color does what, but the 3 wires you'll be looking for from the OEM side are:
Red
Orange
Green

Be careful not to cross any wires, or ground anything. Else you'll pop a fuse in a very hard spot to get to. Don't ask how I know...
