Hi Angel.....

CONGRATULATIONS

I opted to make the bottom light work in conjunction with the middle light which is the Turn Signals.

I can see the wires that need to be moved, but I'm having trouble pulling them out.

Can you tell me how to pull the wire out from one slot and move it to the other?

Is there a way to release the wire, or do i just have to pull harder?

Thanks for your help.

Antonio.
