Default Anybody know where brake light/reverse light wires are in panel behind spare tire?

Hey all - I'm installing IR lights in my front bumper for hunting, and I'd like to use relays (using the Normally Closed) to have that light switch also disable the brake lights and reverse lights. Seems straightforward enough in the wiring, but I'd rather put the relays in the cargo area, behind the trim panel where the spare tire would be, since there's more room to work in there than up under the kick panel. Would anybody happen to know how I could track down the brake light wire and reverse light wire in there? It's a 95 w/4.0.

Sure appreciate it, all!

I can tell you it's a White/Tan wire for the brakes and Brown/Light Green for the reverse lights. I'm not sure where the point is where you could cut in to disable both sides though.

Thanks, Boxburn! Hmm, I hadn't considered that there would be separate wiring going down each side. Maybe I'll need to do it up front after all!
