Help with clear tail

Got a tail light before I left to play soldier, now Im back and I cant figure out how to install the light, and Im afraid of ruining it. The tail light is a clear LED with integrated turn signals, it has 3 wires coming out of the left hole (red yellow and black) and two coming out of the right hole, (yellow and blue) if you need pics lemme know and Ill try to get some posted. Thanks for the help in advance!

The yellow and blue are the signals, the others are for the brake light. Mine had a female end for the stock wiring plug already, so you will need to get one or cut the stock off and connect the wires to the harness.

The colors arent the same and I am not exactly good with electronics, can you tell me which colors link up with what? also the stock brake light has two bulbs, should I only use the wires from one bulb and tape up the others?

You know what brand of clear light you have by any chance?

You can hook the black wire up to the negative on a 9V battery and then test out what wires run what lights and label them accordingly.

I'm going off memory, but for the 3 wires in the one plug, red is brake light, yellow is running light, black is ground. Hook those up to their respective wires in the harness.

The other yellow and blue go to the turn signals, which you color match to the wires that plugged into the oem turns.

If you need I can snap a picture of mine, just let me know.
