this step is really not clear. Could you put it together outside of the box?

i'm not even sure what use this can be, all the leds are on one end right? red lights always face towards the rear on any vehicle, white or bright bright blue always face forward, and ambers are always facing outwards to all directions. is this for a train set or something cause i'm really not understanding the true purpose of this to be honest. Liitle more explaination perhaps? and maybe a drawn schemetic? please? :P
