Tail light wiring diagram

[Penmoe23]

I got the new jeep steel taillights but I can't figure out the wiring for the factory harness. Can someone help?

I have the below figured put except for the last 2.

Yellow- brake turn
White/orange-marker/taillight
White/brown- reverse

White - ???
Gray- ????

At least one has to be ground.

Yeah there are a few black that are ground. I didn't list that one because I am 100% on it lol

Wow…ask and you shall receive!

I have the Oracle bumper reverse lights using the Oracle plug and play adapter. I am adding an LED identification bar to the tailgate that I will want on with the tail lights only.

Instead of tapping into the vehicle wiring could I tap into the Oracle harness wires at pin 2 position for power from tail lights and pin 6 or 7 for ground?

That's what I'd do.

6 or 7 for ground, 2 is side marker so should work.

Thank you!

Thank you!

No problem. The wires/pins will be EASY to ID because Oracle is using the backup light signal at #5 and the ground at #6
6 will be a corner, 5 will be next to it in that line. So you can very easily count over from 6 to 5 and find #2 over from there in the same "row".

I know this is a really old thread,...... But I want tie in courtesy lights in this connector. I tied into 2, but only got 2.4 volts, I assume that is because it is a driver, rather than 12 volts. I do, have leds from factory, and I would prefer to tie into the adapter, rather than factory wiring.. any suggestions?

Did you measure that with it connected and lights on, or disconnected?
I'm curious, what's the point of tying courtesy lights into the tail light? Then the courtesy lights would be on any time, and only when, the tail lights were on.

It has been a while since I did this, but this is what I remember. I tested with lights on, and connected. I assumed that it is just a driver for the LED courtesy light. I am not trying to tie the courtesy light into the tail light. At the time, I had the same connector that you had, to tie into the tailight circuit to run the after market back up lights. In addition to this, (to once again avoid splcing factory wires), I was hoping to splice into the oracle adapter to provide courtesy light power to underbody/rock lights to act as puddle/courtesy lights.

By "driver" where LEDs are concerned, it's a regulated power feed for the LED lights. For incandescent bulbs such regulation and filtering isn't needed.
It's filtered, regulated, power for the LED lights.
