Do you have a picture of the bulbs/plugs? If so post them I am sure I can point you in the right direction.

i have the OE CTR stanley side markers... they should have 2 male quick connect tabs on them. doesn't matter what goes to what FROM the side marker, but here is the wires you should jump into for the different light effects... JDM or USDM. the difference is with USDM, they only blink with your blinkers... on JDM they're always on w/ parking lights and blink alternately with your blinkers (ie. when parking lights are on, they're on... when your parking lights are blinking, they're off). i had mine wired "JDM" for about a week before i realized it was retarded.

USDM:
Tap into green(turn signal) and black(ground) wire.
JDM:
Tap into red(parking light) and green(turn signal) wire

that is from a how to on clubsi.

there are these things called "solderless connecteors"

the one u need is one that will have one will look like a rectangle with two cylinders...
just go to home depot or something and tell them u need a connector to tap into a wire on an existig loom

go to a auto parts store and get some wire, electrical tape, and solderless connectors. you will also need some wire cutters or strippers to complete your job.

your dont need wire strippers or anything... there are connectors, i think they are called piggyback connnects that just connect two wires with a little metal connector that doesnt cut through the wire..very helpful

DO NOT USE ******* T-TAPS. Also called scotchlocks. ****, dont even use solderless connectors. NOTHING makes as good of a connection as solder. And if you dont know how to wire, dont do it. Just have someone who does do it.
