Licence plate lights

Hi guys, I tried to dig some info on the plate lights, but couldn't find any. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could snap a picture of the wiring and more importantly the part of it that connects to the tail light board maybe?

I used the existing cable tie ends on the board and got them to light, but when I pressed the brake pedal, it blew a fuse in the fuzebox, so Im wondering if Im not doing something right.

Any help will be highly appreciated!

Edit: here is a glorious pic of when the lights worked ( 2 mins duration total )

license lights are off of f20 grey/green on my cabriolet powered by the headlight switch. Feeds to one, then the other, then ground.

They aren't connected to the tail/brake/turn plate at all.

So that is how they are on my Cabriolet.

Thanks for the diagram Briano, I think I've seen that one while rummaging for info, but I can't really make anything of it (I'm sorry, I am not that good with electrical diagarams (yet))

About the tail light board, I've seen just one more post in the forum, where there were some (at least one) wire connected to a back of a tail light board. What are those for then, if not for the number plate lights?

Aand again I managed to get it right by myself

Here is a photo of how I have the wires connected:
(don't mind the gunk and general dirtyness, it will be spanky clean soon    )



For now it seems to be working like this, tried pressing the brake pedal, no blown fuses so far, just fyi, I did not try it like this last night, but then I did not have spare fuses to throw in, so that happened today

you have probably tapped your plate lights into the sidelight feed on the cluster. it works, but is not OEM

as per Brians post its power feed is a grey/green wire, brown is earth

Which way round do the number plates go thanks
