Default New trunk lid

Hi guys. New here. I picked up a "new" trunk lid at the Upullandpay. This lid comes with a spoiler with the brake light in the spoiler. I'm trying to figure out which wiring I should hook it to so it operates when pushing brakes. Searched for various wiring diagrams and other wiring issues. If someone has any idea which color wires on the brake lights I should be using. Thanks.

One wire black/red trace, and solid red. If my stupid phone was cooperating, I'd upload the photo. I looked at brake light wiring for the quarter mounted lights, and saw black/red, but not a solid red. I don't know, this may not even be original wiring.
