More than likely the red wire is for power and the black wire is the ground on your light. Assuming your trailer lights follow standard colors like on the # 16-4B-1, the red wire on your light will connect to the brown trailer wire which is for the running lights and the white wire is the ground. If you hook the light up and it doesn't work simply reverse it.
