Wiring Question

[ragincajun]

Here's a shot of the wiring harness on the Cobra plate frame with LED bar.  You can see the bindings are red, white and black.
- The black terminates into a harness plug with a short green wire coming back out of the plug.
- The red terminates into a separate harness plug with a green wire (with yellow striping) coming back out of the plug.
- The white terminates into a third harness plug with a red and a brown wire (two separate wires) coming back out of the plug.

I haven't popped the brake light yet to look at the wiring but was hoping some of you that have been in that housing might help me ensure I get the right wiring.

Here's a few items I "think" I know...
1. I don't need to fuse this item as it will wire directly into the brake light wiring, which is already fused.
2. Appears, per Clymers, that the three wires leading to the brake light are brown, green/yellow and solid green.

So here's what I'm looking for feedback on...
1. If I'm reading the Clymers correctly, then the extra wire already coming out of my harness plugs are  he color coded to the wires to splice them into. 
2. Not sure what the red wire is coming out of the white lead.  As you can see in the photo, it's not stripped for use as the others were, telling me the prior owner didn't use it.
3. Is there any way that you can think that I can wire the LED bar on the plate to light up solid along with the brake light?  Or will that already do that?
4. What's the easiest way to pop off/remove the brake light to run wiring up under the frame?
5. In regards to #4, how do you suggest to best run the wiring from the license plate to the brake light wiring?  I'm not thinking to run it down under the bottom of the fender and not thinking that drilling a hole in the fender is a good idea either.  Seems the brake light is the best option...but open to other ideas.

My suggestion would be to get a test light or volt meter and figure out what the wires are doing. The tail light assembly will have a run feed and a brake feed along with a ground. I think the solid green is the ground. I'm at work and don't have my manual. Should be easy to figure out with a test probe. As far as running the wires I just completed adding a harness on the back of mine to accomidate the addition of dual filiment front turn signals mounted in the back along with a third brake light. I had the tire off and I was able to secure it to the existing wire harness. The grommet that the factory harness comes thru in the fender has enough room that you don't have to drill an extra hole just push the factory harness over and feed your new wires thru. I sleeve wrapped mine so they went thru easy and I used a lot of zip ties to attach it so it should stay secure. Take a look. It's easier once you get under there and look.
