Expert Reply:
I can help you determine the functions of the wires in the bundle you sent in a picture of by testing them with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 but we don't have a way to identify them just based on color.
So have a buddy apply the various taillight functions of your truck while you probe all of the wire cores with the tester and you'll be able to know for sure the functions.
