Default Nightster wiring question: HELP! :-/

So I bought a project...... Great start but some definite cobbling as been done. All the rear lights were cut off and now I'm installing blinkers and brake/tail light. I have figured out the signals, but how the heck do you wire the tail/brake light???!!!! I have a manual but there is no diagram for the nightster brake/tail light. Please help. Thank you.

The nightster uses the blinkers as a tail light. No actual tail light. I think it has a module that helps the signals act as tail

So there is no brake light? Yes there is a modulator. With my test light, it doesn't get brighter when I hit the brake.

I guess what I'm asking is if there is anybody that knows what colors to use (after or before the modulator for a tail and brake light)...... And also where should I cut in the load regulator for the LED blinkers? Before or after the modulator?
