If you're needing to power a third brake light that's on a camper shell it will need to be wired into the truck's wiring.

Use the Curt Tail Light Converter # C56196 to separate the turn signals from the brake light circuit. The red wire on the output side will then be wired to the brake light on the camper shell and the green and yellow will be capped off and not used.
