Follow the cables to the cluster and either splice the cables directly onto the cluser connectors or the cables themselves. Solder and loads of electrical tape should do it  :wink:

no need to splice or solder, simply look at your rear light bulb trays.  notice they have handy spade connectors on, bit of trial & error to find the spade that works the brake lights (or take the tray off and follow the metal tracks) crimp a spade plug on the end of the wire, run the earth to the earth point behind the boot carpet, job done.
