What wire color feeds the tail lights, side markers, and license plate lights?

A red/yellow (R/Y) wire feeds all lamps in this circuit: the rear combination (tail) lights, rear side marker lights, license plate lights, and the trailer connector tap.

Which connectors and pins are used for the rear combination (tail) lights?

The LH tail light is connector L18 and the RH is M01. Each receives R/Y power on pin 1 and has a black (B) ground wire on pin 5.

Where does the trailer wiring tap into this circuit?

The trailer connection is at connector L20, pin 5, tapped off the R/Y feed near the top of the diagram.

How are the license plate lights wired?

The LH license plate light is connector O09 and the RH is O07. Each gets R/Y power on pin 2 and black ground on pin 1, with grounds joining and running to ground point 12.

Where do the ground wires for these lamps terminate?

Black (B) ground wires from the tail and side marker lights route through connector M07/L16 pin 7 to ground point 11; the license plate light grounds go to ground point 12.

This is a wiring diagram page covering the rear lamp circuits, uploaded as part of a Suzuki Samurai reference set. It shows the tail/marker/license lamp circuit fed by a red/yellow (R/Y) wire that passes through connector L16/M07 (pin 4) and branches to: a trailer connector tap (L20, pin 5), the rear left and right side marker lights (M06 and M02, each with R/Y feed on pin 2 and black ground on pin 1), the left and right rear combination (tail) lights (L18 and M01, R/Y on pin 1, black on pin 5), and the left and right license plate lights (O09 LH and O07 RH, R/Y on pin 2, black on pin 1). Grounds (black wires) collect from the left-side lamps through connector M07/L16 pin 7 to ground point 11, while the license plate lamps ground at point 12. A small connector legend on the right lists connector pairings M03/O01 and M11/O12 with pin numbers. The diagram lets a reader trace power feed and ground paths, wire colors, connector IDs, and pin numbers for the rear exterior lighting circuit.
