    I am clueless when it comes to wiring...can somebody help?

    The white wires are for the sti wing brake light and you can see the wrx brake light wires have been cut :-(

    Peel back both wires then get some one to press the breaks and then just keep touching them until you find out which Is positive and which is negative then just Solder and tape them up so they don't touch each other

    its a light bulb, shouldn't matter which it which.

    oo I think I am just going to leave it. I remembered that even with my WRX wing, I had like 4 brake lights..and that was stock.

    I guess 4 is better than 2 lol
