Default Flatbed taillight wiring

I have a 95 f150 and I put a flat bed on it and bought aftermarket taillights that use a 3 way system reverse light, brake light, and blinker. But the factory wiring system used a 2 way system with the blinker and brake in one wire and I don’t know how to wire them togather. if anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated.

Are your style commonly used in trailers for lights? If so, buy the factory harness adapter and plug in that way.

post what you have.

This is what I was referring to. Cut the “trailer plug” off and tie in your lights.

Just looked at it again. You’ll still need a signal for
reverse lights. I would just tap in from factory plug. I don’t know off hand which wire it would be.

Yeah I Figuared out the reverse light
That’s the reverse
That’s the reverse
The three wires coming out of the middle light is the brake and the 2 wires coming out of the top one is blinker but the problem I don’t understand is how I am suppose to do that when the blinker and brake wire is one wire which is the green and orange one going into the original bulb

Yeah, I can’t find anything on separating them. My guess is the trailer adapter has a separator built in.
