 Does that all make sense? :)
+Ok i done the mod Yesterday
+The rear of the warning lamps, the lamps left to right
+High-beam, Yellow Positive, Black Negative
+Turn/Blinker, dark/Green Positive, dark/Brown Positive (light/Green some US models)
+Neutral Brown Positive, light/Blue Negative
+Oil, Brown Positive, Black/Red Negative
+{{:lampsrear.jpg|}}
+Remove the tape from the wires
+{{:notape.jpg|}}
+We need to cut these wires
+{{:turncloseup.jpg|}}
+The holder cut off, i left around 1 inch of wire on the holder, the small piece of wire top right i cut that amount from both wires loom/harness side, so the wires tuck back in tidily don't want them to long
+{{:turncut.jpg|}}
+Solder the diodes to the blinker wires, make sure the diodes are the correct way round, otherwise the 12v current wont flow (diodes allow the flow of current in 1 direction only)
+{{:solderdiodes.jpg|}}
+Now for the heat shrink, make sure it's far enough away from the soldering area or it will shrink as you solder, and long enough to fully insulate the diode legs loom/harness side
+{{:thinheatshrink.jpg|}}
+Add another length of wider heat shrink (Black in photo) over both diodes
+{{:widerheatshrink.jpg|}}
+The diodes soldered and heat shrinked to the lamp holder, i chose the dark/Green wire but its unimportant
+{{:thinshrinked.jpg|}}
+The wider heat shrink in place, a nice weather proof seal
+{{:wideshrinked.jpg|}}
+Now we need a ground/earth, the high beam is sat next door we know Yellow is Positive, so the Black is an ideal ground/earth to splice into, i bared the insulation back with a utility knife, then soldered the 2 wires, and insulated with self-amalgamating tape again a nice weather proof seal
+{{:hbeamgroundbared.jpg|}}
+Taped up and finished (sorry for the blurry photo), just need to fit the other 3 led's make sure the anode (Positive) goes to the corresponding lamp positive
+High-beam, Yellow Positive, Black Negative
+Neutral, Brown Positive, light/Blue Negative
+Oil, Brown Positive, Black/Red Negative

+The led's working

+{{:oilneutturnillum.jpg|}}
+Inside the speedo lamp covers removed, you may need to do this depending on how bright your led's are (i had to) 10mm led top, 5 mm led bottom, the extra 10m led i added side
+{{:speedoleds.jpg|}}
+Close up of the extra led, i soldered it to the top led legs, fixed it to the speedo body with double sided foam sticky tape
