Hey guys,


I am building a trailer and have picked up a Colorado tub to use. I am going to be wiring up the existing tail lights but I am unsure as to what colour wire does what. Below are the wires I have to choose from and my guess at what they could be. Any help would be great and will save me a lot of time with the trial and error method.


Green/Red
Yellow/Red
Red
Black
Green/Black

These wires are from the right hand light.


Any help would be great.


Thanks.

Two ways to test which wire does what:
Idea 1: Get a car battry/ battry charger and go thru them, either but grounding it off to the tub or using the black wire as thats most common to be ground
Idea 2: Remove each bulb/surround and look at the wires that goto them and using Idea 1 to test brake and parker lights

Find your pairs with a multimeter then use a 12V powerpack/old car battery (fused with a 10A fuse within 10cm of the positive terminal, of course) to test which are what.
