Logical guess:

Black = Ground (to chassis ground)
Green = Tach signal (blue wire at distributor, or behind cluster (most hondas))
Red = Ignition (12v + switched power)
Orange Illumination (12v + switched with parking lights)

If you need more help than that, have someone else install it.

Oh, and your Caps Lock button, is on the left hand side of the keyboard.

black-ground

green- tach signal

red- ignition (powered when car is on)

orange- to lights for iluminates

Try hooking the tach lead up to the blue chassis wire.
