Default LED tag light, wiring help

hey guys volcom here, so my LED tag bracket came in the mail today and im having a little trouble figuring out where to wire into. this is on my '04 600RR.
i want to run it to somewhere near the battery, i noticed there are a few fuses next to it and was wondering if any of those are only hot when the ignition is turned on. i'll add a picture to show you what im looking at.
any help and personal experience would be appreciated


*edit* sorry that picture is HUGE! lol and aldo i dont have my own tester light otherwise i would figure this out in my own

There really isn't a need to run it all the way to the battery. Easiest way is to just tap the wires at the rear of the bike for the original tag light. Easily accessible and already on a fused circuit

Should be in that same harness. Can't remember which wire exactly, I would have to go next door to my neighbors rr, but I think there is 6 wires there. Left and right turn signal brake and running lights and ground

Sure you do. You have the license plate. Ground the one wire and use the other to test the circuit.

*edit* it's a black/brown wire that is the 12v positive for the tail (not brake) light and license plate light that are normally always on.
