Default HUmount

So I ordered mine not too long ago, still hasn't came in yet, I know it usually takes a while so I am being patient. But before I get it just wondering for those guys with formulas or trans ams was it easy to install? What do I hook it the wires so the red lights light up on the HUmount? Thanks in advance.

I think they changed it where its now one wire for the power and one for the ground, when i got mine they were each individual. You hook up the power to the orange dimmer wire and the ground to the black ground.

If it was like mine, each bulb should have 2 wires coming from it. Take one from each bulb and run that to the ground, and the other ones that are left to the dimmer switch wire.

i just got mine and it was just 2 wires, maybe the guy has the premade ones that are already all wired up and everything?.. mine just a red wire and a black wire... and mine was the preset Trans Am with Pontiac style in blue.... do the custom ones come with all the leds wired separate?
