It doesn't really matter when it comes to these, all you want to do is take one wire from the puddle lights and join it with one coming from the courtesy lamps. Then take the other wire coming from the puddle lights and do the same with the other wire from the courtesy lamps.

I see now that you have the directions. I just posted them in the other thread and said the same thing.

yeah does it come with vampire clips? if so you just put the puddle light end on one half and the courtesy light wire in the other half and use pliers to put the metal thingy down. shouldn't be too bad.

Hope this helps...

Here's a link provided to me by mushkid: the inside of the door panel for a DIY on how to install it http://rx8.becomeanidiot.com/puddlelights.pdf
