Default Integrated tail light wiring. Need help

Hello folks, I need some help re wiring an integrated tail light on my F4i. I have my oem wiring diagram and can follow that with no issues. The problem I'm having is figuring out where to plug in my tail light wires. The tail light has four sets of wires coming out from the left and four sets of wires coming out from the right on the back end of the light. They are colored black, green, white, and red. I just need to know where each set needs to be plugged in to. The PO had it wired wrong to where you could hardly tell when the brakes where on. So I yanked everything in a haste and want to install them correctly.

Any help is appreciated.

Okay, four blown fuses later (blew three fuses on the bike, then I blew a fuse😡!) I figured it out! One half of the wires is for one blinker and one brake light and the other half is for the other blinker and other brake light. F4i wires = LED wires
green = black (ground)
tail light black brown = white
brake light green yellow = red
turn signal (blue right side or orange left side) = green (one in each side of led for each integrated blinker)

it didn't help that my front brake switch is faulty so I couldn't see the lights getting brighter when I would hit the brake. Thank goodness for multimeters! Ran a cable direct from the front brake switch to the green yellow cable on the tail light and could see it get brighter.

Hope this helps someone in the future!

Props for figuring it out!! I'm sure it'll be helpful to hundreds of people googling, they wont reply but they'll be super grateful. (I've been one of those people many times)
