Default Tail light wiring

Broskys, I am installing two 12 inch each LED light strips to aid the rear light on my RK Custom. Does any one know the color of lead wire and the color for the tail light at the quick connect under the seat? I need to add more light to my rear than just the tail light alone.

Not sure if your Rk has it..
I used the wires for my tourpak lights.
Bought the little pigtail and installed 2 12" strips witha 1/2" X 1/2" angle and mounted it under the tourpak..
worked out really well
Just comes on with brake lights
you need a photo let me know I'll take one

You can only see it from behind and bending down.
It sits about 3" from read of tourpak, As you can see from the Signature piture also
