Spoiler Wiring...help

Hey guys, I'm installing the factory spoiler on my car. my 03 did not come with one. I have a diagram for the wiring and it says the 3rd brakelight on the spoiler wires up to B421 but I am having trouble locating it inside the trunk. any ideas guys?

you should be fine splicing the wires...all it is, is + and -....i did the opposite and just tapped those lines to run a 3rd brake light.

Thanks guys, nah it didn't come with the plug but i just spliced into the wires and it works just fine. I dont think mine came with air diffusers either though, will that matter? and just curious for some of you guys who did this before did you guys wire it up to only light up when the brakes are pressed or did you guys wire it up to where it stays light and then brightens as the brakes are pressed?

Mine was $130 shipped and painted to my car color. So it's a pretty good deal if you ask me. I just finished installing it, i'm going to post pics up later today so you guys can tell me how it came out. I mounted it alittle different though....I went further back flush with edge of the trunk then most G's I believe.
