Nice work Erica. One thing, "wire taps" are a lazy way to make a connection and can cause continuity issues later. Lead wires are not meant to be tapped into in this fashion. A wire tap was devised as a temporary connection only until a proper one could be installed. Over the years that thought has been lost in the none professional sector? Can you imagine the Space Shuttle using "wireTaps"? :lol: Do it right if you need to use an existing wire cut the wire, add an additional lead wire ,solder and seal it via shrink tube or liquid tape.
Now that I know which wires are which, I will go back & do it the proper way as soon as I get my hands on a new soldering kit.
Soldering I just purchased a Craftsman Medium Duty dual heat Soldering Gun - 100/140 watt. Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more You might want to consider one like this or similar. After installing some driving lights and using a 35 watt pencil type soldering iron to do all connections I decided more heat was needed. The pencil type is more suited to electronics and component replacement. It just takes to long to heat the parts when soldering 12~18 gauge wire into terminals and doing splices. It always pays to use the right tool for the job.
