LED Reflectors
I think they look great. I purchased a set but not sure how to install them properly. AND there aren't many shops in my area (South Jersey) who have experience doing it. Anyone know how to do it? ANy suggestions?

do they have a plug or 2 bare wires?
If its bare wires its really easy. You running them on the indicators or the side / running lights?
Which ever it is then you just splice into the lights that run to the main bulbs. You can use scotch locks and then wrap them in self amalgamating tape , or the right way is to strip the sheath off the main light wires and then solder the LED wires onto them. then cover with heat shrink.
Any shope that has a modicum of electrical knowledge should be able to sort. Its just a time consuming job as its bumper off to do the job right!

Just get a wiring diagram and find out where do you want to get power from. As mentioned above the daytime running light or something that will be on when you want the light on. Use a ground into the car and not to any device (light).
Also to splice you can use one of these:
It will only cut a small section of the wire cover. You don't want to cut any of your wire harness since there is little slack to make repairs.

led side marker lights
they have two bare wires, one red and one black. I want them to work when you turn on the day lights and also stay on when the head lights are turned on. What specifically to splice into?
Thanks

its real easy to do, just time consuming for me because I was too lazy to take my bumper off 
you need to splice the red and black wires into your parking lights. Your parking lights are small wedge bulbs in your headlights. good luck
