I need to know the wire color of the front signals on a 2011 longhorn. I'm adding a firestorm led bar under the tailgate , it has amber signals so I can't tap into the rear wiring. Any help would be appreciated.thanks

Can't remember the color offhand, but there is 3 wires going to the turn signal in the headlights. black one is ground, middle wire is parking light, and the other outside wire is the turn signal

Hope this helps

umm, amber signals or not, why can't you tap the wire in the back?

If I tap the wire in the back the amber lights will come on with the brake lights. I think I can tap them in the harness by the fuse box, just need to know the colors so I don't have to poke holes in every wire probing them.

If you tap the rear turn signal it won't come on with the brake lights, regardless of the color. In fact, you can just tap the wires from the trailer plug.

A 2011 ram has red brake/signal lights. They are a duel function light with one wire feed. With no signal on both lights light steady, if you turn on a signal one light blinks the other stays on steady. There's a third brake light wire near the spare tire for use with a cap that I can use for the red brake light function but I need the signal function signals from the front.

Errrrm.....not really.

Take Ocelot's advice, or run 'em up front - but..there really is no reason to.

There are only 2 wires for brake and signal, yellow left, green right, brown parking, and white ground. The signal/brake wires are duel function depending if signals are on when you apply the brake. The same bulb 3157 is the parking light and the other filament is the bark/signal.

Did you ever find out where to splice into? I’m trying to put sequential running board lights on

Use this plugged into the back of the 7pin trailer plug:
CURT 56584 Replacement Vehicle-Side Custom USCAR 5-Pin Trailer Wiring Harness https://a.co/d/1gyPRPA
It gives you a five pin flat which included reverse.
