Cut the 8 pin male plug off of the decoder harness and hard wire it.

Red wire: Right side rail
Black wire: Left side rail
Orange wire: RIght side motor lead
Gray wire: Left side motor lead
Blue wire: Light common power
White wire: Headlight
Yellow wire: Taillight.

Any other wire you have such as green or purple will be for more lighting functions, but only the more expensive decoders have them.
