Wire colors

I'm about to add camper wiring to my 2008. Can anybody save me some time & tell me the wire colors for turnsignals, b/u lites & taillights? Tieing in to main harness at front of box.

Valley Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Wiring Harness with 7-Pole - GM, Ford, Nissan with Factory Tow Pack V30133 : Trailer hitch bike rack and trailer hitches - etrailer.com

This is a way better option than cutting into wires.

Thanks for the response. I don't want to come from the back & I don't want to probe wires. Anybody?

These are for a 2004 6.0L. I don't know that they'd change wire colors though.

Another thing you can do is pull the plug off of the back of the 7-way at the rear. The pins on that plug are in the same positions as the pins on the 7-way, and there are usually pin descriptions on the 7-way cover. You should be able to identify the wire colors there.

That's about the best I can do.

Edit:
DG = Dark Green
YE = Yellow
BK/LG = Black w/ Light Green stripe
BN/WH = Brown w/ White stripe
OG = Orange

Thanks for the help. I suspect that Ford has gone away from the standard green & yellow for turnsignals but maybe I'll be lucky.
