No Where.

You removed the light - right ?? You don't need the brake wire - right ?? Don't do anything with that brake wire. Leave it there and move on to the next mod !

P.S. My 84 had no 3rd light and I used an 87 Rear Spoiler 3rd brake light so I had to add wiring and PINS to the hatch contact pads to make it work.
