Rather than digging into the Prius wiring, I thought I

If you're going to roll your own lighting, this might be of interest:

There are also varying state requirements.

Or the OP could just get a kit and be done with it:

Take 2 new taillamps. Break envelope and solder wires to the pins.
You can guess where the wires go to.

Remove LH taillamp, insert lamp with wires. Repeat RR.

Get out sledge hammer ...
