Help with wiring

[Radiate]

Bought a 21 Willys 4dr a few months ago and just realized I don't have a third high mounted brake light. I really don't care, but I don't want to give the fuzz a reason to pull me over. I ordered the mount and a new light, but I'm not sure where I can find the brake wire. I have a LOD rear bumper that is wired for reverse lights and the camera but I'm not sure where to find the wire that feeds the third brake light. Any idea where the wire exits the body or which wire I can tap into to feed the third light?

Pull the plastic cover off of your rear tailgate, hopefully the previous owner tucked it neatly in there. It feeds through the tailgate and out a rubber grommet. You should be able to pull it out of the rubber grommet and plug directly into your new 3rd brake light.

Is this looking at the inside of the tailgate on the hinge side?

This is behind the rear plastic on the tailgate where I said to look. Just pull and it will pop off and you can see these behind there.

@Fish has it right…those connectors are closer to the latch side.
Here’s another pic…ignore the items circled in red and check out how the wires are routed,
