here's where the problem is that i see.. the 03-05 harness has 3 wires.. one is for the blink, one for the constent, and one for the ground.. the 06-07 harness has 2 wires.. one for the blink and the other for the ground. i'm still waiting on info on this as well, i think i know who to ask..

the 03 harness has 3 wires, you have to tap into the city light power source for the third wire

Yes, just solder it or install a t-tap on the positive wire

No quads yet, just fixing a rotation issue and swapping clear lenses. Also instaling a clear lense from a projector over the turn signal

it was very easy to do just?

you have 3 wires 1 neg wire and 2 pos wires. hook up the 1 neg and 1 pos to the place where you cut the orginal blubs also tap in the little peanut bulb pos for the other and BAM you are done or I THINK you can just tap in the side marker on the side since they are two wires if you do the mod to the sidemarker (but don't quote me) b/c my blink and stay on when driving

This is what I got from accordfreak:

nah I didn't wire it to have that parking light. But it's easy to wire up if you do. Just get dual filament socket from the 03-05 headlights, dual filament bulbs and wire up the 3rd wire from the dual filament socket (parking) which is the driving lights on the fogs.

If you don't like the driving lights, just cut that wire and wire it up to the dual filament 3rd wire instead of tapping it for power.. goodluck
