Default Aftermarket tail light help

Ok so I am doing a 98 dyna wide glide into a bobber and for a while I been watching this brake light signal combo set up. Used condition. I bought it and it has 5 wires coming out of it. So I want to wire it in to my bike. So any starting points? I can get pics or wire colors if someone can help. thank you.

Start with the picture. But 5 wires sounds like it has built in signals too.

Not sure of wire colors on the device itself but for the main harness it would be:
Y/R = Brake
BE = Running light
O/W = Fender tip light
BK = Ground
BN = Right Turn
V = Left turn
