Although there's no hard-and-fast rule, generally it seems the outboard one
feeds the front brakes and the inboard feeds the rear, if my memory is
correct. More importantly, usually the front and rear master cylinders have
different bore sizes. The kits that I've installed that came from Dennis
Quella were clearly marked "F" and "R".
It probably makes no difference which circuit you plumb the brake light
switch into, but I'd be inclined to put it in the front circuit...just because.
