The other two wire colors should be similar to the 650's, or not hard to determine which is the brake light and which is the running light.
Connect the red wires together, the blues, and the black, and attached male plugs to the ends.
I used the wiring from a spare stock tail light to attach to the ZX6E light.
Then it can be plugged into the KZs plugs/wiring.
The red and blue plugs can be swapped around if you find you've connected them wrong to
I did it. Almost done with the whole project. It was a lot easier than I expected. Got steel sheet from Home Depot. 16 gauge. Roughly cut that and made a license plate bracket.
The tail light was incredibly easy to mount. Got 2 L bracket for each side, welded them together to made a "C" or "U" bracket and mounted it.
