I've attached an article to help you with the wiring functions and common colors as well as pin placement. I've also attached some videos to assist with installation.
For a long term solution, I recommend the Epicord 7-Way Molded Trailer Plug with Junction Box - 10' Long # 277-000141 and # 44-5310A ring terminals. This will make connections and trouble shooting easy as well as gives you the weather protection of having a wiring box versus heat shrink butt connectors.
If you prefer the pigtail and connectors, I recommend the Hopkins 7-Way Molded Trailer Wire Connector, 6' Long # H20044 along with # DW05744-5 and # DW05745-5.
