You can pick up power at the fuse on top the starter or the terminal lugs on the firewall. An added advantage is that if ever out on the road and there is a short in the headright circuit you can disconnect the wire going to it from the alternator or cut-out and get the car back on the road and still have brake lights.

I have to be doing something wrong because I'm not getting the brake light to work no matter what. I tried doing what you said and nothing is still happening. How do I test the actual brake light. When I put the 2 wires to the battery the taillight bulb lights up, but not the brake light.
