Anyone still got pics of this? I just want to make sure I am cutting the right wires and if I should cut near the top/middle/bottom.

Black wire is dead, Cut wire




3. Tap into green white on inner bulb. this is the brake wire



4. Finished execution



Simply enough, took 10mins. Ill try to post pics of them lit up later on today.

98-00's have 7443 bulbs for their parking lights also. Let's not forget BananaGS's DIY...

to be honest you dont need them , just use the words Lali (pornadkt) wrote and follow step by step. also just tap them, dont need to cut anything

I looked up some vids on tapping wires and it looks like I would need cut the black wire near the yellow tape (or anywhere?), insert the black wire into a "male insulated quick connect" and t-tap it into the green/white wire, right? Unless there's some kind of connector that just connects both without having to cut any wires like you said. Any particular gauge I need to use?

Thank you! Any particular gauge or will any connector do?

Edit: Never mind I see that you used a 14-18 gauge connector

Yeah I went and bought the ones Lali has in his puctures. And he actually cut the black wire. (Look at the second picture where he's holding the two ends.)

Now I'm not going to use the resistors that came with the Depos, but I was under the impression there were only 4. I have a total of 6 that came with mine
