So I purchased an integrated tail light from motodynamic and when I opened my bike up to install it I ran into a complete wiring nightmare left by the previous owner of my 08 Yamaha R6. Here is a picture of what im looking at

As you can see, that brick thing im holding has melted and I have no idea what it is. It has wires going in but not out. The previous owner had eliminated the fender by putting on aftermarket tail light, turn signals, and flush mount turn signals.

Those 2 red spade connectors are what the rear turn signals are wired into, but there should be 2 plugs that connect into the turn signals so apparently they have been cut off.

There are 2 wires for each turn signal that are fed into the 2 red spade connectors.

I have no idea what those plastics things are. I assume they are for splicing wires together but i dont know why that is necessary.

And lastly I have pictured the motodynamic tail light itself. If someone could help me make sense of what all that wiring is and hopefully just maybe lead me in the right direction of what i should do to get my new tail light installed and working that would be much appreciated. I would even replace all of the wiring if possible. I hate seeing my baby in pieces, im sure you can all relate that :/
p.s. this is first forum post ever, so be easy on me
