Wiring Dual intensity with High wing

Hey guys so i just got my LED bow tie from AAC and was trying to figure out where the 3rd break light and parking light are for me to T-tap the dual intensity circuit to. I got the instructions and it seems that they either forgot to send me a paper or they just expect you to know where these are. The only one i got was the wire diagram and how to take off and put on the bowtie. Nothing about where the wires are or how to get to them.

I was wondering if anyone who installed this before can direct me to where to find these wires. Thanks

QUESTION BELOW!!!!

So the main thing i was wondering is that i just installed a high-wing spoiler and realized that it has a negative and a power wire. I am assuming the power wire is connected to the 3rd break light due to the fact that it turns on with that break light. Do you guys think that with my dual intensity bowtie could i wire the 3rd break light and the ground to the high-wing spoiler since the wires are right next to each other under the lid?

There is a white wire under the back seat that controls the center stop light you need to tap into that wire.

Here you go. You can use a 9V battery to test it, that's what I usually use when testing LED stuffs.

Bowtie Installation Instructions:

Remove the Existing Emblem:

- Heat the area with a hairdryer until the emblem and decklid are hot to the touch.
- Using fishing line start moving with a flossing action from tip to tip.
- Remove residue with WD-40, Goo-Gone, or a Rubber Wheel.
- Wipe the now clean area with alcohol to remove residue and prepare the surface.

1) Install the LED Emblem:
- Route the power wire through the existing deck lid hole and feed excess through.
- Remove the adhesive backing and line the bowtie up using the holes for reference.
- Press the wing to the trunk lid surface for 10-15 seconds to insure a proper bond.
2) Wire the LED Emblem to your Vehicle:
- Remove the inner trunk lid liner, there are 10 clips holding it in place.
- Remove the tail light cavity cover (3 Clips).
- Now route the wire through the trunk lid and into the tail light cavity.
- Unplug the taillight and take note of the wiring going into the Taillight Plug.
BROWN/WHITE…… = Parking Light
BLACK (SOLID)…… = Shared Ground
GREEN/WHITE…… = Brake Light

Red wire goes to the white wire under the seat, the orange wire goes to one of the rear tail light feeds.
