wiring in my flat bed on my 2016 need some help!

OK I'm starting the project of installing my bradford built flat bed tomorrow and i was going over the wiring just to be prepared. I have it all pretty much sorted out for the blinkers back up and brake lights i just have a last wire in the wiring harness on the flat bed that is for clearance lights (running/marker lights) I'm not sure sure where i would tire this wire into everything is getting connected using weather pack connectors just for ease of removal if i have to take the bed off for what ever reason, if anyone has some insight on this that would be awesome

The clearance/marker/running lights should be wired to come on with the tail lights.

Of those three wires brake lights and turn signals are the same wire, ground is one wire, and the third is the tail light. Use the tail light wire for the running lights.

I was that way once with wiring, it gets easier with time and patience. Yes the brake and turn wires for each side can go to one wire in your weather pack.

Which Bradford Built bed did you get? I am looking at getting their "work bed" myself.
