I plan on making the third break light on my car also run as a parking light. From factory, the third break light turns on when I break and stays off otherwise, not getting any power when parking lights are on.
Since the third break light is brighter than the regular rear parking lights/tail lights, I will be using a pwm dimmer to dim the break light when it is being powered by the wire coming from the parking lights. The dimmer I will be using is as follows:

The problem is, I don't understand how I will be wiring all of this together.
I understand i might need a relay to switch power between the two wires (break and parking/running) but how will it fit in the circuit, I'm still trying to figure out.
I want to retain the function of the third break light while also making it run as a parking light at a lower brightness. So when I break, the lights blast at full brightness but when it is getting power from the parking lights, it will run at a lower brightness.
The third break light that I'm trying to fiddle with doesn't draw any more than 1amp.
P.s. I am a commerce student and am still new to the whole electrical stuff
