Default Need help connecting Audi-esque LEDs

Hey all,

I was wondering if someone could guide me a bit in installing my LED light strip. I had it done before and he tapped into a 12v output by connecting to the parking lights. How do you do this? Would you cut the parking light wire and connect it up with the LED strip wires? Any help would be great. Thanks!

Basically yes, instead of cutting the wires, buy a small butane torch lighter and burn a small piece of insulation off, you can buy wire taps in any auto store, or just solder/ twist on to the exposed wires, I wouldn't cut the OEM harness if I were you.
