putting a new humbucker into a fat strat

Have just replaced the bridge pick up (humbucker fender dh 1) in my american deluxe fat strat s1 switching. Replaced with the nailbomb.
First attempt just connected the nailbomb bareknuckle pickup to same colour wires as on the fender pick up. This was wrong! Using this link resoldered and it worked! And it works very well, much more roar and sustain.
this link was very useful

To sum up if you do this
FENDER BKNUCKLE
GREEN-----------------------RED
WHITE-------------------------GREEN
BLACK------------------------WHITE
RED(+bare wire)-----------BLACK
It works!
This link could be useful too

Congrats, and welcome!
A Nailbomb bridge is a mighty fine pickup!
