Reverse Light Wiring

Does anyone know if there is pre-installed wiring running to the back of the 2006 F250 CC Long Box that I can use to run a set of lights back there?

Tap into the reverse wire behind your tailight and use it to trigger a relay.

Here is a wiring schematic....it includes wiring in a switch using a diode. This setup allows the lights to come on when the truck is in reverse and allows you to flip a switch and turn them on at anytime:

I have been toyin with this for my 02 250. What is the diod for? and what size diod do you use? I was going to tap into the purple wire for my 7 pin hitch for power when in Reverse and run a two position relay.
