sorry forgot to put the picture on

Just had a look at my diagrams, it doesn't have colours. Are all the wires the same thickness? Will help narrow it down if they are different

I have no idea what wires go where, but if I were making the lamp, I would have white for reverse, red for stop or tail and yellow for the other, then brown for negative.
I would go
red for stop
white for tail
yellow for indicators
brown for ground
I reckon L0rd's guess is pretty good and worth a go. Will ring manufacturers and find out for good.

I've got some led indicators and they use White for earth. So I'd get a car battery and just test each other wire. I reversed the wires on my indicator at one point but it didn't damage them (then again they only cost Ģ4 ). By the way, what do you think to the lights ? Saw your previous thread and thought about getting some as well.
is l0rd actually guessing or does he know?
The lights look better in the flesh, will post some pics when i have them fitted and working.
brown - tail, red - stop, yellow - indicator, white - earth
Just got that from the manufacturers
do they fulfil all the IVA rules? like reflector positioning etc?
So a pair of these, a fog, reverse and number plate light and you're done?
well cbs have them on their website saying Fully IVA compliant, so hopefully yes.
Obviously guessing.
Should have thought though that sometimes car manufacturers use white for earth as well.
Just thought of brown as it is at homes like that.

i got some from led autolamps, wire colours are the same, so
white - earth
brown - tai
red- stop
yellow - indicator
thats what i'd go for. can't you touch the wires to a battery and check?
These are pretty huge lights, around 140mm diameter aren't they? I quite like them, but I think they would look way too big on my Striker.
Those lights are 125mm Diameter.

Being LED Lights, you could check polarity first with Multimeter, then test with batt or power supply...
