Yellow - Left turn and brake light.
Green - Right turn and brake light.
Brown - Tail lights.
White - Ground.

Those quick crimp are junk. Take your time and solder heat shrink the connections. I just replaced mine and someone had used basic butt connectors and I had to remove and require a lot of corroded wiring.
The lighting is brighter than it ever was, when it worked, sporadically.

If you dont have a soldering gun they do sell butt connectors that have heatshrink made onto the connector and also has glue inside of it to seal out any moisture. But be careful not to puncture the plastic on the connector where you crimp it or you will get moisture in it there. Soldering is the best way but those connectors are the second best if you cant solder or dont have the proper tools.
