Tail light wires! Which one?

I have a 1991 RS Camaro. I want to identify which wire is the power lead to the rear tail lights. I don't want the wire to the brake lights, only the wire that is hot when I pull out the **** for the parking/head lights that goes to the rear of the car. I know that under the carpet on the drivers side, there is a big clump of wires. Which one of these goes to the rear lights, where does it originate? Are there other wires that have the same color? Please help!

-Brian

THe best advice i can give you is remove the driver side interior panel and look at the wiring harnesses going into the lights there. You should be able to make some decent conclusions from that.

It is not the blue wire, it is brown, it goes to the tail lights and the license plate light. Light green or dark blue for backup, dark green for rt turn and stop, yellow for left turn and stop.
