Brake light and Reverse light wiring help

Hey guys, looking to install an alternating flasher on my taillights/reverse lights and thought it might make it faster to hook up if anyone could tell me what color wire operates which light.

Have to tap into both tail lights and both reverse lights, and am looking to eliminate trial and error for 4 hours. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have an '02 Supercab F-150.. XLT 5.4L if it matters.

thanks in advance.

Don't know if these would have showed up in a search or not.

Rear EVTM 92-3 ( shows brown wire into lamp holder for rear tail lamps )


Reverse lamps

+ = black w/ pink stripe wire ( that has been in a few threads for aux backup lamps as the relay coil trigger, and for the trigger for backup cameras ).

good luck

I know you didn't ask and don't know what the purpose of this is Qwerty, but in most states it isn't legal to alternate tail, stop or backup lights.
