How to Find and Access the Brake Light Switch Wire on a 2015 Toyota Highlander for Brake Controller

Question

Question:

If you check out the video I attached you will see how we installed a brake controller in a very similar 2014 Toyota Highlander as your 2015 model. We had to remove the lower dash panel (13:00 mark of the video), to make accessing the green wire possible.

The kit used for the install in the video is the part # ETBC7.
