Where Does Red Wire of Roadmaster Brake Lite Relay Run to

Question

Question:

Hi, I have a question regarding Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit. I would like to know after this kit was installed, the red wire for brake signal output where should I connect to. I have a RVi-3 Break System with a 12v input and a breakaway plug input. Please let me know where should I connect that red wire to? Thank you.
