Dyi hog light circuit board/ electronic's help!

[Talon]

I've decided to build a hog light using a Red LED 20 W 12 V light like my flounder light uses but in red. I bought a 12 V 10 to 50 W PIR Motion sensor that you can see in the pic. It came with no instructions and I'm an idiot! What else do I need to make this work? I would also like to put a switch on this to be able to turn it off on him then auto like the light you can buy from Harbor freight. My wire colors are as follows: on the light blue and brown, on the PIR sensor blue red brown. Here are the pics of the project so for any help is greatly appreciated!

Oh I also plan on using a 12v solar panel

First off, no one can be absolutely sure what each wire color is for. First thing I would do is attach the Blue wire of the light to the positive of the battery and then touch the brown wire of the light to negative of the battery. If the light comes on then you know what each color is, if the light doesn't come on then brown is positive and blue is negative. Now attach the negative of the light to the negative of the battery. Then attach the brown wire of the sensor to the negative of the battery. Attach the red wire of the sensor to the positive of the battery. Attach the blue wire of the sensor to the positive wire of the light. Of course I'm only guessing at what each color on the sensor is for but it is very common for it to be wired the way I suggested.

By the way, that 20w 12v LED is going to draw around 1.67A a hour. If you have a lot of pig activity, lets say 3 hours a night, your going to drain about 5A a night from the battery. This means you would need at least a 12V 10A battery because if you go with anything smaller you will be running the battery all the way down and that will cause the battery to fail a lot faster then it should. I know at my feeders I have hogs at them a lot longer then three hours a night because I feed a lot so you have to take that into consideration.
