DIY Advice Request for B-stlye Rear Diffuser w F1 Light

I just bought a Brabus style rear diffuser with F1 style light for my 2018 AMG S63 without install instructions. Does anyone have these or at a minimum can someone help me know where to best tie in the F1 brake light wires? Quick help would be greatly appreciated!

Run the wire to the brake light.

Thank you. So this won't generate fault codes?

I don’t think it should? Just tap into the brake light wire since the bumper is already off to see if it’ll give you any codes? If you can find a wire diagram from a euro spec for the s63. It should tell you exactly how the wires are ran. Because the euro spec version also have the lower light.

Out of curiosity where did you end up wiring your F1 light? My Brabus diffuser is arriving soon so thought I rather be prepared.
Thanks

I had the same question today ended up testing, i connected to the same fog Light connection the stock fog Light Was connected to.

In my case it was grey to Red and Black to brown. The yellow did not connect to anything.

Did you connect it so that the light will light up as a brake light when you step on the brake pedal? Or it’s just stays on?
