I just opened my VGA monitor cable with 15 pins
and i am seeing four brightly blue covered thick wires.(I opened these four thick blue wires and found each with a single silver wire along with the following colors BLUE, INVISIBLE, PINK AND GREEN)

Other than thoese four thick wires that include 2 wires inside each i found four thin wires of the following colors - ORANGE, WHITE, PURPLE, YELLOW and BLACK.
So my question to someone who is experienced in doing work with video/audio cables is "Which two of the above would i have to use to connect to video component cable?"

You cannot do what you (I think) are attempting to do.

VGA and composite video are dissimilar electrical specifications. VGA monitors cannot display a native composite signal.

You need to buy a converter box, plain and simple.

As far as the pinouts (which won't do much good for what you have described)

VGA and composite (2 pin) video are wholly different in specification and function.

You're better off buying a cheap TV if you're trying to get a composite signal output into a VGA monitor. Converters cost between ($50-150 USD).
