Dude.
the best way to do it is to use a circuit tester earthed on the chassis and then have a friend put the brakes on and run the tester on each wire until you get to the 'lit' part.. and you've worked out the brakes, repeat same procedure for indciator, parking lights,
I tried to read my gregorys... cant work out the wirings that well.
I'll give it a go.
STOP - Red/yellow stripe
LH indicator - Green/black stripe
RH indicator, Green/yellow stripe
parking lights - pink/black stripe
If any trouble and no help, i'll be up next week sometime early week ill bring my gregorys up and you can check it out??
Unless someone has a scanner that they can scan the wiring diagrams for you.

to run led's you will have to replace the flasher unit. the std ones are bi metallic and need current draw to flash. as the led's draw so little this creates a problem. need an electronic unit. cheap as from aussie auto or similar. cheers mate

i put led on the rear of my ute and they work ok but the bullbar has blinkers in it as well as the grill ones so that must make up enough resistance.
