headache rack wiring

Hey everyone.

I plan on building a headache rack for my 98 F-150. The plan is to include two white reverse lights and two red tail/brake lights. I have wiring experience but not with a headache rack. I want to know the simplest way to wire in my four lights (2 reverse, 2 tail). Also, I tow a lot of things so my trailer lights hook-up needs to be funtional for trailers still. Anything like diagrams or pictures would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for listening - 12 Miler

if it was me, i would just splice into the factory tailight harness. just find your brake, reverse and ground and maybe upgrade your fuse. thats how i did my offroad lights before. when i hit reverse, they came on. never had any problems.
