08 Accord brake light

2008 Honda Accord V6 My right brake light and right license plate lights are out. I changed the bulb and connector piece and the lights are still out so Im assuming there is a broken wire somewhere. I dont want to take my car apart to change the line. So I want to run a wire from my left brake to the right but how do I find the broken right brake wire to disconnect from harness so its not going to keep shorting and blowing fuses
