There are three small lugs that you can open to open the plug housing. There is plenty of room inside to join onto the blue/yellow wire and there is even enough room in the plug housing to accommodate the additional wire out the back. Neat and no cutting required. Worked a treat for me.

Is there a way to tap into the high beam and make the low beam turn on when i got the high beam on?
Thanks heaps by the way

Yes, this is the way that the standard H4 bulb works. You can change it with a little elec-trickery or just buy a harness that includes a control unit that will do it for you. The harness is the same that is used on H4 HID conversions. Needs addition of a relay and change of plug fittings at the light.

Just burnt myself 3 times with the soldering iron, not bad for a fat fingered firefighter

Driving lights must be wired so that:
1. They only come on with the high beam; and,
2. They must have a separate switch so that they can be turned off.
As noted above, "scotch locks" are literally hit or miss. If you get it wrong you can miss the very thin wire inside the insulation or you can cut it or break enough strands to cause a hot spot with resultant fire risk. Solder is better although this has it's own problems, creating a stress point at the end of the solder. Best is to solder the tips and then slide a crimp up the line, followed by heat shrink (the waterproofing one is best) and then some self amalgamating tape to seal everything over the top.
