wiring a split coil mini humbucker

First off let me apologize if this info is already out there, but I couldn't find it. I have a 5 wire mini humbucker I want to coil split. The green and red wires are soldered together, and the black and unshielded ground wire are soldered together. The white wire is by itself. How do I wire this to a SPDT mini toggle switch to achieve a split coil? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, I have found diffferent brands use different colour coding, so if Brian Qs suggestion does not give what you want try again, swapping wires.
