Okay, but then that doesn't make sense. The other wire is gray, not red. Do I do it with that one?
I just don't know how I'm going to be able to accomplish that. It's not as easy as it is being instructed by the guys who made that PDF.

Okay, so now that I was able to go home and inspect it myself, I now see what you mean about the object having a red wire of its own. Because hoo-wee, the two wires coming from the car are not only not red (one is black and one is gray, so then I assume it's for the gray one but...
Hmph, I'm really stupid with this stuff and need a photo with the car. Won't be able to check it out for still another few hours, but I'm really tempted to try do to this myself still.
Based on the video you provided, it suggests that the car's wire is supposed to go through the quick-splice...
These just came in the mail so I may try doing this tomorrow myself, just maybe...
I'm only curious though, because the area is so short to work with since the cables don't come out much... how do you detach the wires from the bulb plastic housing? I don't want to rip them out if they're not...
Thank you both so much!
Perfect. This is much appreciated.
Where do you live in the Bay Area, by the way? Might just be easier for me to drive over to you as to not eff it up. :p
Okay, but my confusion stems from two things:
1) I've never done a quick splice, and there is no such thing called YouTube University on YouTube to search it up. I bet I can look up other places, but the first two I looked up might not be specific to what I'm trying to do and didn't exactly...
Meh, that's too bad for me I guess.
I'm going to take a second pass at the LED strip side-markers and see how they fare, but I fear I'm not going to know how to do the wiring for them.
I guess I am going to give the LED strips another shot, only this time I hope I get the clear ones that I ordered instead of the side ones.
Is installation for the strips a troublesome/scary thing for somebody who doesn't really know how to install parts of any kind? I don't want to break my...
So my right side marker doesn't fit. My left one does, but my right one does not.
And it's not just the side marker, but also the amber bulb. The bulb is "too big" to fit in. When I don't have the bulb in, I can put the orange side marker back on (no duh), but when it's in I can't fit the...
Thanks, I appreciate it. I did send an e-mail last night.
Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to shop elsewhere though, because the regular ones (which I want now) do not come with the amber bulbs and neither does the car. I will just get them off Amazon instead.
Thank you so much though...
So my... um... "clear" side markers just came in...
Looks the same, yea??
Not only do they appear to be a different color, I didn't realize the LED strip ones are a completely different design than that of the bulb ones.
This is why I hate online ordering. Now I'm going to have to...
