Good luck!

I completely agree with soldered connections. Or if you can't solder it, at least decent quality crimp connectors, these T-taps are the worst thing to ever happen to auto electronics. And if you use the crimp connectors, you might consider using some "dialectric" grease. It will more or less stop corrosion and rust problems on your connections, just smash some into the connector, push the wire in, and crimp it. Wrapping a single layer of electrical tape is never frowned on either, or shrink wrap if possible. Alot of people just strip and crimp, and they usually have some problems with loose connections down the road.
