Rear light wiring color codes

http://www.73-87chevytrucks.com/tech...s_rr_light.jpg

I'm re-wiring my tail lights and at the same time installing a 7 pin trailer plug on the back of my truck. There are 4 wires that come out of the fuse block:
Light green
Dark green
Brown
Yellow.

From what I can tell in the avove diagram brown is running lights, from my cloudy memory light green is backup lights, and from what I can guess yellow and dark green are left and right signals / stop lights.


Does this sound about right?


I'm going to run a 7 wire bundle of 12 or 14 ga. Wire to where the spare would go, feed it through a weatherproof junction box and then straight to the tail lights. I'm also going to run fused wires out of the junction and into my 7 pin trailer plug.

I'm also going to hook up a trailer brake and a switch controlled solenoid controlled ignition controlled off of the aux slot in the trailer plug for intermittently charging my camper's deep cell batteries

I like wiring
