The ones I sent are for the 16-22 gauge lines. Those larger wire tap are for 12-16 (if i remember correctly). Issue you may have with the larger wire tap is it might not contact with the metal when tapping into the line.
Yes, you have to roll down your window to get the interior panel off.

I zoom therefore I am.
I kept the windows up the whole time, no issues getting the door panel off or back on.
Solder and heat shrink would be the better way to go, but I was too lazy :-)

You have to take off the mirrors to route the wires. It's only held on by 3 8mm bolts so it's not a big thing to take it off.
There are two plastic locator pins on the mirror attaching to the car. The bottom pin is straight, the top is offset. When you're taking the mirror off after removing the three bolts, lift the mirror up slightly and then down to take it off.

yep.. i was shooting up and toward the house. those are the multi colored lights on the house.
I found my camera but it wont let me take any good dark pictures...
It's a very nice glow around the car. I can see everything very clearly but it's not so in your face that you think rice.
The kit is just great. Overall I'd give the quality a 9. The housing is rough, but you don't see it at all once installed. The lens that you do see is top notch and the led's shaz is using are also premium (no ebay crap).
FYI Blue leds shining on GG paint is just beautiful.

damnit man, build an injection mold machine.. that should only run you a couple of hundred thousand!
The comment was just to prepare people.. it might look a bit funky but it's hidden and strong as hell.

Received lights today too! As foretold, its not injection mold. But had I created them myself, I'd be proud of my work. Good job!
Since I want to see them shine, and I don't know when it'll be warm enough, can I touch them to my battery to check? Is there a polarity? Can you hurt them if you connect them backwards.
Best.

i'd suggest just popping the lens of the courtesy light in the door and then taking out the bulb. plug the wires into the socket and you'll see the light.
No harm in putting them in backwards, they just wont turn on if you do.

hell ya it is! I used that for my stereo install, my puddle lights, AND my latest electrical mod. (thread coming soon)
Best $$ I ever spent at Radio Shack. Just wish those SOB's actually sold the butane that goes with it.
Cigar shops or a WalMart are your best friends for Butane.
