So, there seems to be a lot of threads/questions about how to wire the Valenti 3rd/4th brake light and modify it to work/flash differently. There are wires/cutting/moving/combining/arrows all over etc-I've done this mod before and I was confused by the differences in pictures (upside down/jumper wires all over/new wires added).
When done correctly, there wont be CEL, weird dimming or any other bizarre electrical issues.
There are 3 Main ways of having the Valenti Rear wired
1. Stock out of box-When you turn on the running lights, the "V" AND the center triangle light up. When you step on the brakes, the center triangle flashes 3 times and then remains on. This is less than ideal I suppose, since most of us only want the center part to light up when you step on the brakes-which brings us to the mods we can do!
2. (flashing) When you turn on the running lights, only the "V" will light up. When you step on the brakes, the center light will flash 3 times, and remain on-as long as you step on the brakes. When you release the brakes, the center light will turn off.
3. (Not flashing)When you turn on the running lights, only the "V" will light up. When you step on the brakes however, the center light will turn on-and will remain on until you release the brakes.
The video here shows the different methods AND how the wiring should be setup.
I will have another video shortly that shows which wires to tap into on the tail light side/reverse side-but that content is out there...wasn't a top priority for me. Picture is below

How the wiring looks OUT OF THE BOX. Before modifying.
HAD TO UPDATE-WILL ADD NEW PHOTOS HERE SOON
I'll need to check to see how "plug and play" the harness is on the 4th brake light, might just have to pull/tap the red/blue wire into the tail light.
