I will use them for my Bike- road king-, now now, here is the problem,,
with or with-out the power box, I meen,
using the power box (supleid) of derect 12v form the bike,
i'm not gething --nothing is going on,
but if I tuch the black and bleu wire together-- these at the the end of the strip,
I will get some light- red, yellow, green, but no with bleu etc..

Do you have any directions or a schematic you can post?

Sounds like you've received the wrong LEDs. Polarity is important with LEDs, they will either work or not. I've never heard of any circumstance where they would emit the wrong colour light.

I have no user guide except a little diagram showing wher to insert colored wire,, that one was easy,, just have to insert color wire into same color receptacle.

Like I said, when avery thing is set-up right, nothing go's on, but if I toutch the bleu and black at the other end of the strip , I do have colors, but not all of them,, Ps.. I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT IIT IS WORKING WITH A REMOTE CONTROL - ON/OFF COLOR CHANGE/FADING FLASHING / FAST/SLOW..
