Default cryptic wiring diagram

Thanks Marc - I've been thinking of putting dual intensity red LED strips on the back of my side boxes. One of the wires on theses strips is for braking. On most bikes you'd just tie it into the brake light wire. The problem with late BMW bikes is the computer control of the electrical system. If the tail light burns out, the brake light takes its place automatically. I don't want to mess this feature (tie directly into the brake wire).
I'm thinking that if the moto engineers at BMW are really on it, they would have put an auxiliary contact for brake lights on an electrical bus somewhere.
Does it exist? (or is there as much thought given to this as to control ergonomics?)
