Icon7 Intro and quick question

Hey guys!
I've been lurking on this forum for a few months now while I work on my Ranger. I'm in no way a professional or even a hobbyist, so the information I've found here has proven to be invaluable.
Long story short, I found myself in possession of an '05 Ranger that I can only imagine was used to put boats in the water down here in Florida and never rinsed. Essentially the whole rear end rotted off.
Now, I'm a thrifty gal, and it seemed a shame to ditch a perfectly good truck just because the last foot or so is red dust, so I'm in the process of rebuilding what was lost. I tossed the whole bed and a friend welded a new back-end to the frame. The bed is now a wooden flat, which is almost finished! I think it looks great, but I still can't drive it without one more thing: The taillights.
So the new bumper is now made of wood, and I would really like to attach lights to it, but I am having issues due to what seems to be a lack of wiring diagrams for the '05 model. If I have to resort to purchasing one I have no issues with that, but my hours at the hospital have been cut due to us seeing fewer patients (you'd think we'd be in overtime, but nope!).
Long story short, any help would be GREATLY appreciated, and if a diagram can't be found, I'd very much like your opinion on trustworthy downloadable manual sites. Emanualonline.com looks very sketchy to me... any experience with them?
If I do purchase a diagram, is it allowable for me to share it here for others who have the same issue?

Thanks guys!
