TricLED 3rd/4th brake lights
I'm in the middle of installing the 3/4th brake lights from TricLED.
Question:
Each LED strip attaches permanently to one of two different body panels.
The two LED strips are wired together and do not appear to be simple plug-and-play separable.
Specifically, the two black ground wires are crimped together into a single plug; the red wires are connected in a small gray junction block with orange press-down levers (are these wires able to be disconnected by prying up on the orange levers, or is that a one-time permanent union?)
This arrangement makes the two main rear body panels Siamesed by this wiring so if you remove the one upper (painted) panel that fits right below the trunk lid, you must also remove the lower black fender panel and keep these two bulky pieces together.
Do folk cut the red and black wires and connect/disconnect with reusable Posi-tap connectors?
What am I missing here? I feel like I'm suffering a cranio-rectal inversion.

posi-taps to the rescue

Strange the directions make absolutely no mention of this dilemma................
.......or does no one else find having the panels hooked together by the wiring harness an issue?

Installation video?
Several folks have mentioned that the Tricled website has installation videos. While I know my memory is going, guess my eyesight is too. I've looked and not found any. Help?

A preliminary search on YouTube didn't turn up an installation instruction video.
Could you provide a link please?
Thanks,

It would be VERY helpful to have a list of links to these uploaded videos. Your company has an excellent reputation for helping folks installing/maintaining your products....this list would only serve to enhance that reputation. Just sayin.

I hope to be taking the parts off again this weekend now that my mini disconnects have arrived from Amazon. I have to say I was more than surprised when I discovered that the two panels cannot be separated for maintenance purposes.
While it is an easy fix, the correct connectors are worth about .25 cents each and will take no time to install when the harness is being wired up.
