tail light wiring diagram

does anyone happen to have a tail light wiring diagram? I'm tryin to wire mine up but don't know where to put what. I can figure out which wires are what, but I need to know where to put those wires.

I can send you pictures of mine when I took mine out. I took the pic so I would know where the wires went.

I can hardly make out the colors on the wires. I just got done painting and they got primer and paint on em.... do you have any arrows saying "back up lights" or "brake lights" or anythign like that?

Just wipe them down with some thinner or paint remover. The wire color should hold.

tried hookin em up like that and everything seems to work on my passenger side, but the brake light and headlight light are backwards and the only thing workin on my drivers side is the brake light. I'm gonna look at it more tomorrow and I can probably figure it out from here.
