[cormier1989]

if i were to put a new a tail light on a new fender would i have to anything with the wiring or could i just wire up the new tail light and it would work? I dont know jack about electrical and i know this is a general question but any help would be appreciated.

Should be a no brainer. I used a turn signal with a red lens and it grounds by mounting to bare metal so I just made sure there was good contact at the mounting point.
Some pics of the light and fender might help.

unless im mistaken these are the colors to look for.
solid green: thats your ground. hook it up to the frame/casing/whatever of the light. or if it has a tab for a ground put it there.

1 brown wire and 1 green with yellow stripe: these are your power to the tail light and the brake light (its a dual filament bulb) there are 2 wires going to the light bulb itself hook these up to those.  i forget which is which though.

hope that helps.
