I can help you with that!

The black brake controller wire is the 12-volt power feed, it connects to the red wire on your pigtail.
The red brake controller wire carries the stop lamp signal, it connects to the green wire on the pigtail. The white wires are for the ground connection, they connect to each other as do the blue wires. The brown wire is for an unused illumination circuit, and it should be capped off and bundled up out of the way.

The pigtail will plug into the connector located under the dash, above and to the right of the OBD port, as shown in the photo I've edited for you.
