what are the RGB Wires at the end of the light strip do/supposed to connect to?

Nothing, they can be left exposed at the end of the strip. You can attach them with an adaptor to another strip of LEDs if you want.

This is true, they connect end to end. however the signal and strength of the lighting itself deteriorates after 3 - 4 strips. I suggest separate the strips with a repeater which is supposed to boost the signal. I am not an expert by any means. just trial and error here.

The male pins have pins on both sides. I solder one end to the RGB LED strip. The female pins have a pin on one side and a receptor (female) on the other side. The LED strips come with a male end connected. So I make my LED strips with male ends.

These connectors work perfectly with the 8mm LED strips. Most importantly, make sure the + side of the LED strip is positioned beneath the metal clip on the RED wire. The LED strip is marked +/- so make sure the strip is aligned correctly inside the clips. If you're light strip doesn't light up when you slide the ends under the two metal clips, you may have to pull the strip out of the clips just a tad. Just work it in and out until you hit the sweet spot on the LED strip.

Certainly sounds like you wired it correctly. Just remember that LEDs are polarity sensitive, so make sure your positive is on the red wire. If that is confirmed, then I have nothing more to suggest.

Without knowing the specs of your strip lights, I can't answer your question. I can say this, though. If you use the rgb strip lights typically available on amazon, you can't string two 5 meter strips end to end. The current load through the first strip will cause the thin flexible copper conductors to overheat. Also, you'll experience significant voltage drop through the strips, and the far end will be noticeably dimmer than the supply end. If you need a continuous run of 4 5 meter strips, use a data repeater between each strip.. In that case, you would need 3 of these units. Hope that helps!

you can use 5050 SMD RGB Color Changing LED strip, Strip to Strip so no soldering is involved

Rgb. I personally recommend solder, the white clips broke my strip more often than not

This unit has three wires, the black is the positive wire from power supply, red is positive to light, white is negative from supply to unit and to light by way of spliced wire to light from white wire. The light will still have only two wires to it. I hope this helps!

The light is polarity sensitive, red is positive, black is negative, check the polarity of your existing wiring, you may find black is positive and white is negative. Why you have 2 white wire? I'm not sure, one wire may possibly be suppling gound to another fixture... goood luck, Scott

After every 3 LED's there is a CUT (scissors) line, and right after that line are 2 round contact points. Solder your new wire leads to these. I found it best to TIN the contacts (because they're under the thin plastic coating) and the wires first, then solder them together. I also use RED wire on the side marked DC12V so I'll always know which is the (+) power side of the strip.

These are 12v lights so you should only have 2 wires you can connect to. It does not matter which color you connect to which wire, as long as it is only 12v.

It's a bit late to answer this but I had that problem too. I plugged the wrong end of the strip into the wire that comes out of the control module. try unplugging the strip from the wire and plugging in the wire to the other end of the LED strip. fixed it for me.

The pin connectors of this item will not reach the metal connectors of the linked item. Maybe you are looking for this connectivity?Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 3) LED strip light connector one end 4pin male connector, other end new type 10mm RGB connector,

These are a little bluish, maybe around what you're looking for. I'd guess that they're a little higher than 7000K. Felix is correct that these are very bright when run at ~13.5 to 14.0V, I run mine at 13.8V. Lahiru is dong something wrong. FYI, if your strip is longer than, maybe, 10' I'd run the supply wires to both ends. If I ran the full 30' strip I'd run the supply to both ends and the middle. Why? Because there will be enough of a voltage drop along the copper traces on the strip that the LED's on the end will be noticeably dimmer if you only connect to one end.

If you look carefully on the back of the light by the connector, the words "GROUND", "TAIL", and "STOP & TURN" are embossed in the plastic near each of the connector pins corresponding to those functions. On the wire harness kit that came with mine (you might want to check yours), GROUND = White, TAIL (Running) = Black, and STOP & TURN = Red. The wires coming out of the bottom of the connector also roughly line up with the connector pins left-to-right; i.e., Black on left, Red in center, White on right.

You have to get the connectors and then splice it into the correct wire colors. If you dont want to buy the connectors, you could always match the wire location to the solder point on one LED strip, then match the connection you made with the next LED strip. Thats how i do it and it works just fine. Just be careful of bending the solder points to much. They could break the connection causing the LED strip to not work on one side or maybe one color not showing.
