All 8 Functions of the LED Tail Light # 271585-01 Explained and How to Wire Light
Published 08/04/2017
Question:
When an LED Tail light has 7 or 8 functions, how do we get stop, turn, running lights for a 3 wire plug that is supplied with it. I am splivcing into either my 7 PIN or 4Pm that came with my stock 2013 F=150 tow package. Lights will be mounted on my BackRack, left and right. Smalled multi function I can find is 6 inches long. If you have other suggestions feel free to send them to me.

The light functions of the LED Tail Light # 271585-01 are as follows:
Stop light
Tail light
Turn signal light
Side marker light
Side reflex reflector*
Rear clearance light
Rear reflex reflector*
License plate light
I put an asterick on the two functions that aren't actually related to lighting as they are just reflectors.
The stoplight and turn signal gets ran on the red wire, and the taillight, side marker light, rear clearance light, and license plate light are all carried on the brown wire of the assembly which runs to the running light circuit.
The white wire is the ground.
