Default Need help with windscreen LED wiring.

I just installed MacGyver's LED windscreen lights (LEDs)

All I have left to do is wire it up. Unfortunately, Dan (Macgyver) hasn't responded yet to my email. I thought someone here might know, as I know nothing of wires and car audio/electronics...

here are the pics:




there are 6 wires:
white
black (I'm assuming this is ground)
red
blue
green
yellow

is there a way to "test" the wires to see what they do without messing up anything?
here's an old thread an old thread about it (the kit has since been updated and the instructions are now obsolete)

thanks in advance!
Paul

Red +12v
Black -/Ground
Yellow Reverse Light +
Green Brake Light +
White Turn Signal +
Blue Color Selection

I hooked red to parking lights so it turns off with lights.

TJS2K,
ok, I understand the red and black...
But can I connect the brake light function AND the reverse function and be able to use both features?
Or am i limited to only one feature?

Thanks again!

Use any or all I used a DIP switch so I can turn any of the functions on or off. Didn't know if I would like amber turn signal flash etc.
