Just got them in the mail about an hour ago. I had the tutorial saved but the wires the tutorial states do not match up with what I have.
Here are the pictures.

As you can see, I have 2 green wires that are already put into one, along with 2 ground wires put into one. The tutorial says I should have to twist 2 green wires together and 2 green/white wires together, but I only have one of each. Are Aspires wired differently? Basically what I want to know is if I should just splice together the same colored wires because they all match, I just have a different set up than that tutorial picture displays.

i just used a wire tester (there was no tutorial when i wired mine since i was one of the first to do this). each bulb needs a negative and depending on it's function, 1 or 2 positives... it's pretty simple. for the dual filament bulbs on the JDM side, there will b 3 wires coming out of the socket; 1 is the ground, 1 is the parking light positive and one is the brake positive. the single filament bulbs will have 2 wires, ground and signal positive or ground and reverse positive. wires them by function and you won't need to mess what colors match up.

Nevermind guys, all I did was match up the colors and it worked perfectly.
