You tab into the purple wire that is going to the back of the tail light. Very easy to do.

They are SDM's (LED's) and each afterburner LED has a black and red wire. Which do i tap into the purple???

Do you still have to cut the wire that turns on the taillight?

From what I remember you're supposed to basically kill the taillight so that you only see the LED lights. They wanted you to cut the wire to the plug. That's what turned me off of the idea.

You don't have to cut any wires. You do however have to trim one of the pins on the light bulb. Trimming the pin disables the parking light.

Correct, you have to trim the inside lead of the tail light bulb. I just got my done yesterday.
