13.Use the supplied moisture resistant pigtail connectors* to attach the wires from the new LED assembly to the existing vehicle harness. Insert appropriate wire from vehicle harness and mating LED assembly wire into a connector and crimp following instructions below.

2.) Use pliers to push the blue cap down flush with the edge of the clear body, completing the connection. The connection will only be correct if pressed firmly down with pliers.
