I have a single reco gate LED, and I’m wondering which of the pins I need to hook up wires to to get it to work

I'm honestly not sure. I have a few myself, and haven't really tested them to see which would make it light. I'd assume just about any combination of any two would though.
They/Them for me, please.

Okay, after doing some experimenting, to make it light-up, you connect a wire to the prong on the lower-left or lower right corner corner of the plugs on both sides, though it has to be the same corner on both sides. At least for the LED ones, anyways.

With the incandescent ones, it appears that you'll want to wire up the top prong on both sides.
