Stock tail light wires are green, yellow and brown, the LED tail light wires are black, white and red, anyone know what goes where? I don't have a multi meter handy at the moment.

You'd think the LED tail lights would have a book?
Anyway...
On the factory wiring, brown is the marker lights, yellow is left brake/turn, and green is right brake/turn. Should also be black ones to ground.
On the new lights, I can only assume black is ground, and white and red are presumably the marker and stop/turn circuits. Good think about LED's is you can't hurt them hook 'em up backwards -- they're diode protected
-- so just try sticking different wires on the battery and see what lights up.-- A

The LED's on my semi are; Black - Ground, White - Marker, Red - Turn/Brake . . . but then again my rig has been hacked by so many idiots who knows if that's right.

Don't forget that your turn signals are going to be flashing a million times a minute. Parts store has an upgraded type flasher that flashes the same rate, regardless of the type of lighting you have
