HELP / Spoiler connecting light

I just installed my spoiler on my sedan... i have cut the 3rd brake light wire and have linked the spoiler brake light to it. Problem is the spoiler now light on but the 3rd brake doesnt light up... Is this because there is not enough power for both?

What can i do? Anyways i guest the spoiler light only is ok but i got the feeling since the 3rd brake light is already there it could light too simultaneously.

Thanks

How did you wire it in? You need to wire the + wire to the beige wire of the center light and the - wire to the white wire with the black stripe.

I linked the spoiler wires to the exact same wiresof the 3rd brake light set up before i have cut it. The first i have inversed the wires of the spoiler so the 3rd brake light was lighting but not the spoiler. I inverted it and now the spoiler light up but the 3rd brake light doest light up.

Can you snap a picture of how you wired it?
