Default Need help with rear parking/brake light wires

Hi! I got bored and purchased a set of LED rear bumper reflectors for the GS. Tried to install them this morning but it turns out that our GS seems to have different color wirings than other Toyota/Lexus models I've seen online.

I pulled aside the trunk lining and found 4 wires going to our REAR corner lights. They are Green, White, White/Black, and Blue. I need to find the wires for Ground, Running, and Brake lights.

Any ideas?

Here's an example of the lights I bought. No, I did not buy from iJDYToy so I can't ask them for support.

The wiring diagram is to big to post everything but I think this is what you are looking for. Let me know how it works out I've been thinking about buying the same lights.

I did this mod a while ago.

One of the Red wires from the car harness goes to the Blue wire on the back of the tail light.
The striped wire on the car harness goes to the black wire on the back of the tail light
The pink wire on the back of the car harness goes to the Green wire on the back of the tail light.
Only 3 wire you need to connect.

New lights have 5 wires.
Fog -- you don't have those but the wire is there.
Reverse --
Tail light --
Brake light --- ( doesnt need to be connected if you only have the outer units light up when braking)
Ground --

Both tail lights new and old ones have a small diagram with the pinouts on the back of them under the foam gasket. It's easy just move the wires to the corresponding pinouts on the new tail lights, no wiring diagram needed.

I used wire taps.

Thanks! I'll take another look at it over the weekend and see if I can figure this out.
