I just installed a FE kit on my 2008 FZ6. Here's my situation, followed by my question:
I removed the factory rear fender unit, and cut the factory wires to each of the 2 big orange rear blinkers, as well as the plate light. I then removed about an inch of the black tubing on each of the 3 factory wiring bundles, and stripped the brown and black coating off the end of the 2 wires in each bundle. This left a small amount of copper wire exposed on each wire.
Then, I had the aftermarket LED turn signal wires, which were coated yellow and black except for a small metal "connector" at the end of each wire. Basically, the "connector" looked like this:

Here's my question: I slipped each of the factory wires into the corresponding LED's "connector," so the blinkers flash and work. However, how am I supposed to permanently attach the factory wires to these connectors? Am I just supposed to slide the factory wires into the connectors and then cover each with electrical tape? Or should I crimp the "connector" so the factory wire can't come loose, and then cover it all with electrical tape? Or something else entirely?
If you haven't guessed, I'm not electrically inclined. Any help would be much appreciated.
