According to my contact in Tech Services at Tekonsha, the cold side wire coming off of the stoplight switch on a 1999 Toyota 4Runner is green and white striped.

If you can locate the wires feeding the third brake lamp, you could tap in at that point. The wiring harness that feeds the lights at the rear of the vehicle is usually ran under the drivers or passenger side door threshold, you could use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 and probe the wires until you locate the wire that only shows current when the brake pedal is pressed.
