Ok folks, I'm installing some wheel ring lights on my SS. I have the red positive and the black negative but there is a blue wire that goes to the brake pedal switch. When this wire is hooked up and the brake pedal is pressed all the lights on the rings will turn red. I was told that this wire has to go to a wire on the brake pedal that when pressed will give you 12 volts. It can't go on the positive cause that will have them on red all the time. Does anyone know where this has to hook up on the brake pedal. Thank you all/
Brake pedal switch

As I understand it the best and safest would be to tap the positive on the fin mounted third brake light .. the brake and turn signal circuits on the Slingshot don't like anything hooked directly to them and some drop voltage to less than 12V. Most accessories need to be run through a relay when hooked to these circuits or stuff stops working....... but I have read about extra brake LEDs and accessories run through the tag and third brake light feeds without freaking out other stuff.
Probably not much help and someone will chime in with a better answer but you can find a lot of posts along the lines of "hooked X to my brake lights and now they don't work" ....

The guys at Slingmods.com are good about answering wiring questions, maybe give them a call.

I fried a brake light switch....trying to hook up extra brake lights...

When I installed wheel lights I used a kit that included a adapter that plugged into the driver's side taillight for a signal wire. Used a relay so all your doing is triggering the relay.
Hope this helps

Not sure about others But I purchased this wire kit , I wanted to have my Brake light wire, Signal light wire & tail light wires in the rear that I could tap into.........because I have a set of Flashing RED LEDs going off when I step on my brakes
