Well here is the thing. Not everyone has the smarts for wiring. I have been doing it for a living for over 21 years. Combine this fact with poor directions and when someone has to wire off the cuff.... ( make an adjustment ) things quickly go sour.
My recommendation for anyone would be to strip the wires with the correct tool ( automatic wire stripper ) twist them together. Apply electrical tape temporarily until you make sure everything is set up right..
Once you are 100% happy go back an solder all the connections and apply heat shrink to the wires you joined together. If your super an al like me you can take some liquid electrical tape and dip it on the ends of the heat shrink to make sure water doesn't get forced in the gap.... Which it shouldn't but I like overkill.
Don't forget if you have the space get the appropriate sized wiring harness tube and tuck all your wires together.
The biggest no-no is just twisting the wires and putting on a few twists of electrical tape. Over time heat/cold and age makes the adhesive on the tape fail and you have some live wires bumping off who knows what.....
Not try to lecture just throwing in my 2 cents.
I am on the list for these tail lights and I know I am going to mock them up before I do that final connection and sealing.
