I am trying to wire up the lights on the Kaymar bumper, and am having all kinds of issues. The instructions read as follows:

Trailer Wiring Harness:
Yellow = Left Hand Indicator
Green = Right Hand Indicator
White = Ground
Red = Brake light
Brown = Tail light

These are FU#K*N wrong, and I'm about to flip my lid.

After getting 12 mosquito bites, I have found the following:

Yellow = ???
Green = Tail
White = Ground
Red = Left Hand Indicator
Brown = ???

I was hoping someone out there could confirm my findings, and fill in any blanks. I have wired and re-wired my trailer harness a couple of times, and before I try anymore it would be nice to know what wire does what!?!?!

While I'm at it, There is also a separate connection with 1 black and 1 blue wire. What are these (I'm assuming brake controller and reverse light)? I am particularly interested in which one is the reverse light.

All help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
 
Using my volt meter thingy, I have ascertained the following:

Wiring Harness:
Yellow = Reverse
Green = Tail
White = Ground
Red = Left Indicator / Brake Stop
Brown = Right Indicator / Brake Stop

How would I wire this into my LEDs which have the following:
Indicator Wire
Ground
Tail Light
Brake Stop

I believe Don had this same issue with wiring the ARB. The left/right indicators and brake lights are both on the same wire. It's designed for a trailer with a brake light that either flashes on either side or continuous on both sides for brakes.

Here's what I would do (but don't shoot me if this info is wrong): On the inside of your engine bay, on both sides near the headlights, there are a group of three wires. I do not remember their colors, but one is ground, left/right turn, and fog. You tapped into these to install the IPF fog light kit in the front bumper. If you can, tap the indicators here and run wires down the frame rail to the rear.

The other idea would be to take the shorter route and tap the turn indicators from the rear tail lights (does the LC200 even have these???). Funny...I never checked.

You are not going to be able to tap the trailer loop for the indicators and brake lights.
 
Ok, I am not 'tailer hitch' smart. Is one of those wires a reverse light?
