Default A. R. E. Power Lock Installation Question

Hi All!
Just bought my first Ford F150 and love it!!! I've owned Dodge and Chevy and am happy to have found my way to Ford!
I have a 2008 Ford F150 XLT 4x4 with 5.4 and have installed an A.R.E. Cover. My truck is Silver and the cap is Black! It looks very sexy.

But, I'm trying to determine where to hook up my power lock wires. The ones with the cover are solid brown and solid green. I've found posts that say to use Pink w/ Blk stripe and Red w/ orange stripe wires that should be located on the driver side of the truck. There is a pink / blk stripe, but no red w/ orange. Other variations have also been discussed, but was wondering if anyone here has the same truck as me and has gone throught the same process and can tell me for sure.

Thanks in advance!!!

I assume your talking about under the bed. What two connections do you need? The only thing I can think of you needing is a constant power.

Gator,
I need to wire the power lock on the tonneau cover so it will work with my existing key fob. Hope that clarifies things a bit.

I'm showing Red/Orange for the Drivers door unlock too; Do you see Pink/Orange? That's the unlock all command.

Got it! I tied into the drivers side wires located below the plastic trim in door way.
I used Red/Orange stripe and Pink/Blk stripe.
Works like a charm.
Thanks Gator.
