You should have 5 wires and you need to splice into the two that are running the LEDs. I think it was a black wire and the other was pink and green or white and green. The part that plugs into the light strip has two going in on one side and 3 on the other. one of the three is reverse. I think bottom. What kind of load equalizer did you get? I had some on my truck and when I went to a second pair of LEDs for my turn signals, I started blowin the fuse. I ended up taking them out..

I got the resistors that matched the led's. I replaced all 4 bulbs and put i resistor in the two wires like you said but the brake lights and turns still dont work right. no fuses blown yet though

Aight. I just took off my rear passenger side light. You are going to connect to the 1)black wire and the blue/white wire and 2) black wire and brown/red wire the two colored wires are the lights. I didn't check the driver's side, but they are configured the same way, but colored different besides the black. Look at where itplugs into the strip and they are the two top ones of the three on that side. The pic is from the Passside. Hope this helps
