Wiring harness # C59496 is a universal fit type of item that fits many vehicles. Also, there is no standard color code for wiring/function; vehicle manufacturers can use whatever color they want and it frequently changes from model year to model year, and even within the same model year for a given vehicle.

That is why there is a circuit tester included. You have to test the vehicle tail light wiring to determine function and then install the converter accordingly.
