Red w/ stripe is for the position lights,
Green w/ stripe is for the blinkers,
Black is Ground.

On the electrical schematic the wire codes are
RO (Red-Orange) RH side Tail-, Marker- and position lights
RB (Red-Black) LH side Tail-, Marker- and Posiotion lights
GW (Green-White) RH side Directional/Blinker
GR (Green-Red) LH side Directional/Blinker

If the markers are allowed in the UK, but you also need to have
blinkers on the side you can easilye rewire them to do both.

I have mentioned this before, check msg# 18378 and further

for an explanation on how and why this works.

Good luck,
