watch out ... brittle wire insulation
 
since someone keeps trying to zap my posts
i post it again.
i took pictures to illustrate the wiring of the lights.
they are from the FTP.
do yourself a favor. if your wires look like this,
replace them instead of patching things up with electrical tape

i replaced all my wiring with 14 gauge wire and shrink wrapped it all
just to be sure.
as you can see, the insulation of these wires is really substandard
as lazlo already pointed out.
