NOOOO...
You don't have to extend the wires.   You don't need to cut any wires.

The rear wiring harness passes just to the left of the pedals.
Un-plug the Green/Purple connection.  Figure out which side goes to the 
back on the car, this is the stop lamp
positive side (the other side is grounded at the stoplamp.
Make a 6inch wire with a spade on one side to plug onto the new switch.
Put a bullet connector on the other side, plug it into the Green/Purple 
going to the stoplamp.

Make another shorter wire with spade on one side, plug into new switch.
Put a bullet on the other side and plug into the Purple/White (or 
Purple) wires dangling from the harness (according to
the schematic these are for the interior light that non-GT Tigers do not 
have).  You need to find the one with 12V
always on it.
