Question:

I am installing this on a truck that has one wire for brake and turn. One wire for park lights and one for reverse. My question is this light has 5 functions but only three wires available. How do I connect. Thanks.

You are correct that the Peterson Combination Tail Light - 5 Function - Incandescent - Square - Driver Side # PM445 you were looking at has 5 functions but only 3 wires.

To wire it to your truck you will need to make the following connections:

Red wire on light to brake light/turn signal wire

Green wire on light to parking light wire

Black wire on light to reverse light wire

I included a video of the # PM445 for you to take a look at.
