For example, if I took one of the sockets, and cut it so its just the two bare wires, what would the voltage be? 9? 12?

The voltage to the lights are 12volts, one wire is power and the other is ground. You can check using a DVM meter. The current draw is limited by the rating on the fuses on each circuit.
The side ,third brake ligt and the rear tail/brake lights have built-in resistor circuits to bring the voltage down to each's respective level.
Hope this helped...
