Expert Reply:
For most trailer lighting applications the if the light has a red and black wire the red wire represents the stop and turn circuit and the black represents the running light circuit. If there isn't an additional white wire that would indicate that the assembly grounds through the mounting hardware.
So to wire this to standard trailer wiring you'd run the red wire on the assembly on the passenger side of the trailer to the green wire and the red wire on the driver side of the trailer to the yellow wire. The brown wire of the trailer wiring would run to the brown wire on both sides of the trailer.
