It's been a long time! So long that my bed rusted out, I couldn't find a replacement in any kind of decent shape, so I converted to a flatbed. Pics will come when it's done 
It's a 2009 4.0L 4x4 XLT.
With the bed went the stock tail lights. I am having a heck of a time figuring out how to wire up a universal LED tail light to this truck.
What does NOT work is the running/parking lights.
At the truck harness/wiring I have (had) 5 conductors. They are discoloured from age, but I believe they are:
- Gray
- Purple
- Yellow
- Brown-Yellow
- Black-Yellow
The universal LED lights I am using have four wires:
- Red: Brake/turn
- Yellow: reverse
- Black: running/tail lights
- White: ground
Does anyone have any suggestion on how this should be wired?
The temporary magnetic lights I was using (towing lights) had all the functionality I needed, except reverse.
