Default Electrical Wiring

Need to find a place or someone to wire this windrestrictor to brake or parking lights. Any suggestions in the north metro area of Mpls./St. Paul, Mn.

Currently works off acc plug in. Need to wire to either and/or brake lights or parking lights.

So you want it to only light up when you apply the brakes?

That is an option. Ideally it would be to constant power as I have a remote for the on/off and other settings.

I wired mine to a switch under the dash, which is wired to battery. The wires run under the trim along the driver's side. I got power from the fuse box under the hood - there is a cool channel from the back of that fuse box into the cavity above the clutch/brake pedals. I picked up my ground from a screw under the dash as well.

Not sure who you can get up there,

Thanks for the info. Since I have the auto trans, not sure if it would have said channel behind the fuse box. I would prefer to have a pro do the job so it looks and works as it should without issues. I will continue my search. Thanks again.
