Default 98-02 SS Spoiler

I just out on the spoiler today and noticed even when the car is not running, pedal is not pressed, the led 3rd brake light is on, but very dim. I also noticed that after installation of the spoiler, the first time I went to start it the ABS INOP light came on and did not go out. Could the 3rd brake light staying on cause this problem? I assume I need to install some resistors in the wiring as I know LED's use lower voltage. By the way, what size resistors should I get? Thanks for the help, I appreciate it

All you need is a relay, this will show you how to wire it. This is exactly what I did!http://shbox.com/1/relay_for_ss_spoiler.jpg
