Default Help With Tail light

I got this tail light delivered yeaterday and when I opened it I found no directions. I got it from this site http://www.moto-tuner.com/Default.asp

and there is no directions there either. I am hoping someone has installed this integrated tail light before and can help me out. I know its obvious on the tail light connection and obviously the 2 yellow wires are the left and right signal. What are the 2 white square blocks and I am assuming they go between the turn signal and the connection but not sure.
Any ideas

Rite, the yellows are the rt and lft turn signals. The white blocks are load equalizers for the LED signal lights in the new tail light. Are you leaving the old signal lights? If so, that's good as the signal lights in the tail light aren't DOT approved. Just tap the yellows into the existing signals (thats what the red taps are for) and put the load equalizers on the shelf for a future project.
PS. the purpose of the load equalizers is to fool the TSM to add more load so it'll blink. You need it if you go all LEDs.

Nope already removed the turn signals. So that means I use the equalizers?

OK, ground one side of each equalizer and the other side connects with the old wire of it's respective side. So there will be one yellow wire, one load equalizer wire and the old signal wire in one splice. Solder and heat shrink splice.
