Default Help wiring third brake light....

Well after my accident, I went with a different spoiler so the stock spoiler with the 3rd brake light is gone. I bought a 15 LED third brake light that I plan on putting on the top of the rear window on the inside.

Any suggestion's on how I can wire this so it only goes on when the brakes are hit??? I am figuring I have to tap into a wire in the tails but I have no idea which one. Thanks in advance for the help.

(Mods...please keep this in the GS section....figured I would get a better response here then the lighting section)

On my 2004 GS430 I took off the factory wing and installed the factory third brake light in the rear deck. When I removed the rear deck, the wiring harness plug for the third brake light was already there! I would recommend removing the rear deck and checking for the wiring cause I believe all the GS' have the wiring even if they came from the factory with the wing/third brake light. Good luck.
