Wiring a third brake light

I'm wanting to wire a third brake light that is already installed in my canopy/topper but has never been hooked up. I think the biggest concern is what way to route the wires through the back of the bed. Also what colored wire(s) do I need to hook into to get a brake light? The canopy in the back goes all the way to the base of the bed with a door (tailgate removed). Anyone do this, or have suggestions?

You should wire it in to your hitch plug. If you don't have a hitch plug, you should install one for convenience's sake.
