Welcome!
Since you have some goofy aftermarket switch with crazy wire colors there's no instant answer, here's a search for "signal wires" that might include a thread where someone had a similar switch and figured it out: https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/search.php?searc..._chars=200

You'll have to read through them to find the answers yourself.

The wires are from the vehicle not the switch. The switch wires are standard colours so no probs but I thought I would get a quick answer to save me tracing the wires back.

Model year?
OE switch or aftermarket? Part#?

I received the same one. Connected the 3 pairs, more 'targets' the better.
