You put the ends of the cable into C and crimp C around the cable. Don't use to much force, the little tabs can break.
Then you plug those silver things into the golden things.
If D is a soft tube, as in heat shrink, put it over the cable before attaching C, when you have plugged the stuff together slide it over the joint, heat it slightly, it shrinks and protects the connection.Make sure you have all the cables where you want them on the bike and in the length you need them before you do this.
I think B are things that go around the cable into your back light somehow.

Currently wiring my B&M IQ-XS to my Shimano hub and a bit frustrated with the complete lack of instructions for wiring. Seems to assume a base level of electrical competency that I do not have.
Seem to have the plug part connected okay, and the wires running to the rear light, but connecting the wires to the front lamp I'm not so confident about. What are these bits and do I need them all?
I've connected A just by guesswork and it seems to have worked, but not sure what the little hole is for on the metal connector or if I've done it right.
No idea what the two bronze connector things are at C, and I guess D is a protective cover for some part but the way I've installed at A it doesn't seem to stretch over the the black connector B to cover it.
Help please I am useless. Thanks.
