Strat tex-Mex pickup placement

[goinpostal]

HELP!
I just bought some Tex-Mex pups from a TDPRI member and I don't know which lead wire goes where. Looks to me like the red lead pickup goes in the middle (correct?). I looked at the yellow and white lead wires seeing if there is a length difference but both of these leads are the same length.

WIRE COLORS

Neck - white/black
Middle - red/black
Bridge - yellow/black

BLACKS are negative (ground)

I had been having a problem with what I thought was a ground problem. Turns out it was the 5 way switch. Of course I found out after I had installed the Tex-Mex pups.
And I know some like'em,most don't but I love these pickups. Real sweet quack in 2 and 4 especially in 2.
I wired a toggle switch in so I could get the b/n combo and the b/m/n combo. Makes her that much sweeter.

Another question concerning my pickups. The ones I bought came out of a 1999 JV Strat. The bridge pickup has different height magnets than the neck and middle which have the high D and G with a low B. The low E is about half the height of the n/m pup E,the A is the same as the n/m A, the D is almost flush with the cover,the G is is about 1mm higher than the G, the B is the same height as the n/m B, and the high E is the same height as the n/m A.
Is this correct with the JV Tex-Mex pickups?

Could be someone messed with them or inconsistencies in mfc. ??

Am I looking at your bridge pickup the wrong way or is the G just a little bit higher than the D?

I think it is just that the pup is tilted in the photo. When I zoom in on it on my pc, they look the same height.

This is a Tex Mex middle from my Nashville Deluxe Telecaster and they are the same height. They look just like the bridge.

In the photos I have of the Tex Mex set, they all appear to be the same as far as the poles.
