Wire Rear Fogs / Retrofit

I purchased rear fogs from another member and have just that...the fogs. I have no wiring or anything and I was hoping to wire them as brake lights. Ideally, they would be on whenever my lights are on and would get bright when i hit the brakes. Anyone know how that wiring would go?

Well as the Fogs are a single filament bulb it is not possible to have them on and then get brighter, that would require a dual filament bulb. The only way to have these work as brake lights would be to have then only come on with the brake lights.

My bro-in-law just did this mod over the weekend and we took some pics. I'll post them up later today. It was quick and easy.

I'm mavic1010's bro-in-law and I'll be posting a tutorial on how to install the rear fog light to tap into the break-light without any additional wires. It's completely reversible and takes about 10 minutes. Stay tuned.
