Looking for some help wiring up this LED rear tail light with built in indicators for my 1998 CBR 600 F3. I've fit one to my hornet a while ago and used a relay so it was a doddle but this has come with resistors (and a part of the previous owners lights which I don't think is needed!).

I've labelled all the terminals so it will be easier to describe.

So far I've figured out that:

1 = rear tail light itself
2 = indicator (not sure which side)
3 = indicator (not sure which side)
4, 5, 6, 7 = Resistor#1
8, 9, 10, 11 = Resistor#2

12 and 13 look like the previous owner has wired it up to the old rear light as the other end of this wiring has a bulb which has black tape wrapped around it.

I'm under the impression that when I remove my original indicators I will have two wires (+ and -), these will attach to the red and black of the resistors but the other side of the resistor will have a red and black spare, do I just connect either the yellow or blue to the red (+) of the resistor and tape the black (-) up?

I also plan on binning the bulb part with the two wires as I can't see me needing this.

Can't work out why normally indicators use two wires but this new one only comes with one!

Cheers.

Earth for indicaters is shard with rear light, resistors on live to indicators, other light is for number plate and runs in series with rear light.
