Sorry, I wasn't clear earlier. My original goal was to have the LEDs come on when the parking and and headlights turned on. For whatever reason, the lights come on when I open the door, stay on when the headlights are on, and auto-dim at the same time as the map light after I close the door. It wasn't entirely my intent and I'm not 100% sure why, but I am fairly happy with the result.
I'm glad that you asked the question though... If my memory serves me correctly, there is one ground and two positive wires going to each brake light. One positive wire (the dark brown one) turns the brake light on part of the way when you turn on the parking or headlights. There is another positive wire (yellow, I think?) that controls the brighter lights when you actually press the brake pedal. I think the license plate positive lead is actually green.
Hope that makes sense... If it wasn't so late, I'd go take them apart to double-check. Maybe tomorrow
