All the reds together into "loop" on your new fitting

The two blacks on the right hand side of your pic into a piece of connector block..and the blue from your new fitting

Remaining black via connector block to the brown on your new fitting

all earths green/yellow to another conn. block..

Lecky off first obviously...
