Recommissioning an ex-PA unmarked 2015 Ford PIU for resale. I’m trying to figure out which lights should be activated together and I have the factory service manual as well as the modifier guide somewhere for reference.

Some I assume are obvious;
Tail lamp strobe LEDs, high mount tailgate LEDs and the LED lights on the bottom of the tailgate seen when open, would be on the REAR LIGHTS circuit.

Grill and hood LEDs, front corner strobe LEDs, front park/turn LEDs would be on the FRONT LIGHTS circuit.

What about quarter window side LED’s and two outside mirror LEDs facing forward and sidewards. Should those be on a third circuit or incorporated into the first two?

If you are trying to replicate the PA cars, I have no idea. The squad cars that I build, I use the 3 position slide switch. Slide one, is rear lights, including rear quarter side lights. Slide 2 is all lights, reds and blues only. Slide 3 adds in the white flashing lights.
Mirror lights I would wire into the front lights if you aren’t using a slide switch.
