Default 2007 softail taillight wiring question

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone on here has dealt with this and can save me some time and wire prodding. I just installed my tri-bar led taillight on my 2007 night train and a dk customs side mount license plate bracket with the led bolt light. I need to tap into a wire that is hot with key on (such as the taillight). If someone knows of which wire in the taillight harness is the one I need or if there is one closer to the left side swing arm I could tap into I'd sure appreciate it.

This is my first bike and I'm pretty hesitant to start tearing into things and I want this install to be clean.

Thanks!

On my 08 the blue wire running to rear lights was a constant that I used for my plate light.

The good thing about Harley is that they stay consistent with the wire colors in the harness. Across all bike models even. He is correct, the blue wire is to the headlight switch/Taillight power.
