Default Lci retrofit

Hi folks. Iv'e just bought front and rear lci lights. The headlights are halogen. These wires came with them. My question is, do i just need to solder the the plug to the existing wire for the front lights? Also, does anyone know where the thin wire, with the spader connected, goes too? My car is pre lci.

Your help would be much appreciated.

If you are going down this route then depending on the age of your car, you'll need a new LCM too. And you will definitely require coding as well.

yes you will need a new lcm. That thin wire runs all the way from the tail lights to the new lcm in the front.
