How do I know how to splice the wires?? Both are copper wires with black plastic... no coloring or anything

If the wires are the same color it means you can splice them together either way.

Match up the color of the wires. In my case two of them were reversed from the old capacitor, but if you simply match the colors it should work fine.

You have to get the connectors and then splice it into the correct wire colors. If you dont want to buy the connectors, you could always match the wire location to the solder point on one LED strip, then match the connection you made with the next LED strip. Thats how i do it and it works just fine. Just be careful of bending the solder points to much. They could break the connection causing the LED strip to not work on one side or maybe one color not showing.

It's easy. If I remember correctly, one wire has a white stripe on it for white... And if it doesn't, just swap wires. No biggie.

Sorry i cannot comment, i never had an issue with that. However, how do you change the wire?

its actually 2 wires that must be spliced in. 1 red (power/hot) and 1 black (ground).

Yes watch what color you take wires off usually white screw goes to white wire and bronze screw goes with black wire

Mine isnt installed yet, was waiting until i had all electrical components i want to add to bike before i did wiring, im doing LED's speaker system, this, trickle charge, GPS, and a few other changes and want to do all wiring at same time for a better job, plastic at its best is only plastic, id contact manufacturing see if they offer replacements, its something ill watch for as well, sorry i coudnt help

Depending on the application, you can either solder or crimp the wires. I chose to solder. The only tool really required was a small needle nose pliers.

Thanks. BTW: I did manage to repair the old one by cutting away some of the plastic, soldering the broken wire, and using heat-shrink tubing to prevent the problem from happening again.

You have to cut the end of the strip and make the 4wire's to show. Some times the color of the wire's s are not the some as the wireless controller. You have to be careful when striping the wire. The wires are very small.

The wires can be cut and re-attached in the middle. Removing and re-attaching the white connection could generated more trouble that just re-splicing each wire

The Instructions are a little confusing, I had to just go by what each wire does: I used Conventional Diagram! I also Double checked connections On the internet utilizing how my old one was connected & tagged the wires with the corresponding letters shown on the wiring diagram? I don't know if I have confused you more O actually helped you? Good Luck! =O)

I did strip down to copper wire, twisted, then put on wire nut/connector. If the copper does not meet and contact with the inside of the connector, connectivity does not happen.

I bought two units and they both look just like the picture... one red wire and one black wire. Sorry that I'm no help.

Each one has a white wire and a black wire connected to a screw base. I don't see why you couldn't cut the base off and splice the black and white wires as desired. I have not done it.

There is only one way to hook these lights up. It doesn't matter what colors your wires are. It appears that the maker doesn't care either. Since these are diodes the power will only flow one way. In short try one wire on the positive and the other on the negative. If that doesn't work switch them around. I got one white wire and one black... the black was positive...go figure right.
