how do i wire my brake lights on my Honda 1000
The parking brake wire is located under the center console. Around the parking brake there is a wire that routes to handbreak, it is normally green.
The wire should rest at 12V+ or zero but when the parking brake is on the wire goes 12V- .
If your attempting to install a DVD player (in dash) in your car and need to bypass the brake light wire in order to be able to play it while driving its not too difficult. the brake light wire goes hot when the brake is applyied (to power the brake light itself) the DVD player uses this wire to know when the brake light is on or off based on if the wire is "hot" or not. simply splice the wire into a constant power source like the main power wire to your in dash unit.
Yes you can wire just about any light (neon, led, incandesant, etc... )to your brake light , granted it/s within the law. You plice into the brake wire, it's that simple.
Should be HOT at one side of the brake light switch
Yes I actually did it yesterday on my land rover I could not get my tail light to come on only my brake light. Use a decent wire like one side of a good speaker wire will do it's what I used. Tie it into the "hot" or positive wire of a working light into the positive of the non working. Make sure the lights you are tieing together do the same job i.e. Q brake light to a brake light. If that doesn't work check your ground. Also this only helps if the wiring is bad that is sending the light the signal if the fixture is bad you will have to replace it.

New bulb needed or broken wire
Answer Probably a bad ground or the bulb needs changing. battery is dead or a bad ground wire connection
