Hope this helps. Don't know the wire combo, I had factory lights. I'd just use a multimeter and see which wire had power when you kick the switch on.

If that ain't good enough, I'll take the lights off and make you an actual template, but you'll have to wait until this weekend, and the time it takes me to mail it to you.
