Tail light Wiring

I purchased an aftermarket tail light housing and need to connect to a factory wire harness. Does anyone know which wires connect.

Picture below

A better picture of your housing and wires would help. If you put 12v to it would show which bulb lights. Maybe a link to the supplier would help if they list any info?



A bit of a guess: Black to B Brown. F to Chassis ground (89). Blue to E Tail-Park light. Red to A Brake. Gray to D Reverse. Orange to Black/White turn signal.
H to Oil Level sender tab. G to oil level sender mounting stud for ground (52)

What bothers me is there seems to be a missing park light bulb after the turn lamp.
I updated the wiring suggestion in the previous post, mainly the ground wires. The Brown ground wires for the light housing (B) and oil level sender (G) are joined inside the wire harness with another brown wire (F) with an eye loop that goes under a bumper mount for the chassis ground.
I need clearer pictures of the wiring and internal sockets to have a better idea.
