yes those connect to each other for the main power and ground to light it up and work the brake light, and the yellow and blue are the bypass from the stock turn signals into the integrated one should tell you in the instructions which color is for which side, they plug into the plugs for the stock tail light or connect to them one way or the other, if you dont know which color is for which side just hook em up and test it if the opposite blinker comes on then they are backwards and swith em to the other side if the main light doesnt work try flipping the plug over and plug it in, sometimes your gotta play with the wires to get them to connect correctly, mine came backwards on the yellow plug i had to reverse the way the wires were layin on it.

thats what im guessing, cause that yellow thing only has like 2 or 3 wires on im guessing instead of 4 contact points like the clip from the bike has so have to play and find the right one im just not sure, i did the integrated tail light on my old bike and it was a long time ago and i dont remember but it should have the power ground then the one that goes from the brake line to tell it to go brighter i do remember that it took me like 4 or 5 tries to get it to work correctly
