Ok Travis you only need to provide proper voltage to the terminals shown regardless of any extra terminals there may be.

You may need some voltmeter/multimeter to check that indeed you are getting proper voltage to each terminal.

The yellow one needs to have +12V permanently, the red should have +12V when your car is on. The black one goes to chassis ground.

With those 3 it should light up.
