Don't know about the black and blue wires, but the other colours are what I have used.

I've not wired trailer brakes or reversing lights. But tail lights, brake lights and indicators, the colours are what I used.

Cheers,

Have you got an automotive test lamp or anything? thats the easiest way to confirm what each does.

The colours i listed yesterday were from the narva site and matched the wiring of the tjm harness i picked up.
