Installing Wiring for Truck Cap Topper Center Brake Light

Question:

I need help wiring the third break like on my topper. It’s on a 2008 Silverado 1500. Do I need to wire it into the tail light?

For your 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500, the third brake light wire for your topper is already run and can be found under your dash in a bundle of wires. I've attached a video to assist you. The wire you are seeking for that topper is the orange chmsl wire (which stands for center high mount stop light). You will simply run a # 16-1-1 wire from that location to your topper center brake light. I recommend using the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector # DW05744-5 for nice protected connections.
