One of the plugs fits into the light bulb socket. That's it. You remove the light bulb and plug the harness in where the bulb was. The box is a built in load resistor so that the turn signals won't blink like they're on speed.

it wont plug directly in. the ends don't match up. but there are 3 wires that are kind of bent over on the plug for the led's. there are 3 holes where wires could go on the wire where the stock bulb plugs in. would it work to plug the wires in directly? sorry but im new at the wiring stuff
