The lighting setup on the B&W Custom Headache Rack # BWPUCP7500BA comes pre-wired so that you only have to connect a single harness to your Ford F-250's wiring to power all 4 of the lights. You will simply splice the tail of the wiring harness coming from the Headache Rack into your vehicle's wiring. You can also tap into the Pollak 5th Wheel T-Connector, # PK11893-11932, referenced in your question by splicing into the harness. This will allow you to still use all the light functions on the Headache Rack but without having to splice into the vehicle's tail light wiring.
The B&W Headache Rack wiring instructions are as follows:
The green wire is for the passenger side turn signal and braking. The yellow wire is for driver side turn signal and braking. The brown wire is for running lights and the white wire is your ground wire. You will want to remove any excess wire after installation to avoid loose wiring.
