LOD Pilot PL-195 Rear Bumper Light Splice
Fellas,
I am trying to splice my rear LOD Pilot PL-195 55W lights into the reverse light wire going into the passenger side rear brake fixture. Is a direct splice of the wire ok? I tried it and the stock light still illuminates but I get no action from the bumper lights.
I am trying to use a Tap Splice, so its possible the lod light wire didn't get tapped properly, but before taking it apart I figured I had better come ask.

I was doing some more reading and I think in an "i really have no clue" sort of way, that I may have to set up a relay with an independent wire going to the battery for the additional lights. Basically similar to the diagram in post #4 on this thread:

Is this correct or am I just screwing up a simple wire tap?

Nevermind. I am an idiot that doesn't know how to splice. Sigh, oh well, problem solved at least. And fyi, tap splices suck in my biased and uninformed opinion.
