Please Help, Wiring HSH Strat Pickups

[Conspiracy]

Hi there, this is my first guitar build and I'm customising my old squire strat. I bought a preloaded HSH pickguard and pots and im looking to put my own humbuckers on it. The humbuckers I have are "Artist Bulbuckers" and have 4 wires which im familar with however the 5 way switch on the HSH pickguard appears on only have 2 wires soldered from each of the off brand humbuckers it came with. Thank you for any help yoy can provide

Welcome to the forum!

What you need to figure out is how the 4 wires of the new humbuckers relate to the old ones...wire colors are not standard, so you need to know what is hot/ground/series link. The manual for your new pickups should explain what wires are what.

Yeah on their website they have the north and south start and finish but I just dont know which points to solder each wire to as the previous pickups had only 2 wires

It says on the artist bullbucker webpage: For standard series humbucking operation on a 4-Conductor wired humbucker the White & Red wires are soldered together and taped; Black is ground and Yellow is Hot Output.
