Custom tail lights - help on tapping power to amp wires?
Hi guys, I am really, really stupid at wiring and electric stuff. I have ordered custom tail lights from JP Customs 901 that are currently being made.
I've been told I just need to "tap the amp power" to make them work, but I am not sure how/what wire color to do this on.
I see this thread: https://www.myg37.com/forums/audio-v...breakdown.html
...but again I am super stupid at all of this so even with all that info and all those numbers, I am still confused
I might be preempting this since I don't have the lights yet but I want to be prepared.
I purchased T-Taps, a wire stripper, and some some electrical tape.
So....
Thanks if anyone can help a stupid newbie like me
I will have the lights in a week or two so then I will have a better idea of what I am dealing with here...
[EDIT]
I think I found some info here:

- I assume the amp power is behind the fabric trim in the trunk near the tail lights?
- Is it only on one side of the car?
- Does anyone know which cable JP Customs 901 is referring to?
- Do you know what color the cable is? (2009 G37x sedan, premium package, tech package... Bose speakers)
- Will I physically see the amp?
- Am I supposed to tap the wire before or after the amp?
- Is this going to break anything?
- Will it blow up my speakers?
