LED wiring help

I just got some leds to line the sides of my 06 headlights. I've done a set of headlights before but they were from an 05 so I just used a pre-made led strip in the clearance strip area. This time around I will individually install leds on each side.

So my question is how do I wire these together..

They are already wired up with resistors in them. I'm new to this so I'm not sure how to connect them together for each side (series/parallel) I'm a little confused so teach me a little about wiring leds. I have no problem doing electrical work and can solder just fine.

thanks for the help guys

whats teh best way to wire that up? run one wire for ground and one for power then solder each pre-made unit into these main wires...

Sorry its a little confusing for me in words, does someone have a picture of a parallel circuit they have wired so I can get an idea. I know a lot of plp have done this mod, maybe there is a picture floating around somewhere.

thanks

Parallel means all your LEDs 12V will be connected together and all the LEDs GND leads will be connected together to ground. So you have 12V across each LED assembly.
