    I have a LEER shell, with the 3rd brake light. I have no clue how to do it, so for a year, I haven't had the camper break light :(

    Tie it into your rear brake light. They are both the same, just 2 or 3 bolts and find a wiring diagram online for the tail light so you can tie into the right wire. Very very easy.

    Are you looking into adding lights inside your shell or outside?

    I went in right by the tailgate latch, and tapped into the trailer harness as to leave my original harness alone.

    I was trying to figure how to tap into the trailer harness.
    I just routed from the battery to have constant power when I wanna turn light on camping.

    Sorry, forgot to add the part that I ran the wires through the same hole. I have a ground, 3rd brake, light bar hot, and a interior hot.
