Your wiring should be pretty straight forward. The provided video link will walk you right through the installation. One of your lights will have a clear plastic lens on the bottom which will be used with the license plate bracket on the left side (drivers side) of the trailer. This will be hooked up with the wiring, including the yellow and brown wire. On the right side, you will use the green and brown wires to install that light. Your side marker lights will be hooked up with the brown wire on each side so that they illuminate when the taillights are on. These wires then run to the front of the trailer and the ground wire is connected to the trailer frame. Then the trailer connector is connected to the vehicle.
We do not have specific instructions for this kit but the video I've linked will give you all the needed information. Don't worry about the blue, red or purple wires. They are for auxiliary power and brakes and are not used with these lights. If you have specific questions, let me know. We are here to help.
I'd recommend soldering the wiring connections and protecting the connections with # DW05452 heat shrink tubing. If you don't have a soldering gun, we sell a nice one as # PTW2012. The solder and flux are included. If you don't know how to solder wire, it's a cool skill to have. There are many YouTube videos out there that'll show you how to do it. I don't find the quick connectors to be very reliable over time.
