well how do u plan to wire them?

Do u want to wire them with the parking lights? or to the turn signals?

From what i learned from my friend, this is how i wired my lights.

First find out where you wanna wire them. for me i did it to the parking lights, which is the amber/orange thing.

Then I use an 18 gauge wire to splice into the parking lights. The way to splice the wire is by using a set of wire strippers and carefully peeling off the rubber coating and exposing the wire.

Wrap the 18 gauge wire around the exposed wire either solder or use electrical tape and wrap it up tightly.

Using the wire stripper, strip the end of the 18 gauge wire and expose the wire. I used some quick disconnect plugs so i can take it off anytime without worrying about damaging the wire if i ever plan to take it out.

Then add the other end of the quick disconnect to the flex strip lights, but also add in the 18 gauge wire to the end of the flex strip light's wire.

Then once that is all done, simple plug the two quick disconnect together and you should be all set.

So a recap of what you'll need:

18 gauge quick disconnect plugs18 gauge wires ( two different colors to know which is pos/neg)Wire stripperBlack electrical tape

Also Time and Patience is a must lol.

Good luck and hope it all goes well man. This is how my lights came out.

I decide to do the curve on the inside of the headlight, just the opposite way from the audi's light which is from the bottom of the headlights. But i need to get some stronger and brighter leds though.

Yeah its the same regardless if you want to do the parking lights or turn signals.

Well black is always the negative and what ever the other color is, then that is positive. For my sedan wire lights, the other color was green.

Um here's a link to what the disconnects looks like

http://www.radioshack.com/prod...04016 Here's a quick tip, since your gonna have two wires one pos and one neg, switch the quick disconnect size by having the positive be one end, and the negative being the other end. If you see the picture, basically one is big the other is small.
