Default E-codes + LEDs

My Valeo Ecodes came with a little receptacle to plug in some wedge style "city" or "parking" lights (not sure which one exactly), has anyone been able to use this? I want to plug in some aftermarket LED's from TunerDomes, but after checking to see if that particular receptacle get's current, it looks as if the wiring going into the headlight's plug has skipped the wire of the receiving end of the receptacle. Not sure if any of that made sense. But I was wondering if it would be a simple splicing job? Would I have to throw on any resistors to ensure the bulb doesn't blow?

These are the ones I'm wanting to put in: http://www.tunerdomes.com/index.php?...d&productId=34


If any of this was confusing, I could take some pics.

I've been using that city light since I installed e-codes on my car (about 7 years ago). Simply wired them to my parking lights which are always powered with the ignition (Canadian Spec). You won't need a resister as the bulb is a straight bolt-on, rated for 12-14VDC.

Default Sweet, thanks guys.

The only issue I'll have now is trying to make the connection go through the factory Headlight plug.
