ooooooooooooops

umm, i decided to take up the 'easy' task of installing washer leds w/ a friend...we start off, got the stock washers off, and begin to splice the red wire on passenger side indicator...i was bringing the led wires through the hole when i hear my friend go oh ****....yea, he cut the wire...we ended up duct taping all 3 wires, the 2 ends of the red wire, and the led wire, together......so a task that should have taken 1/2 hour max, ended up taking about 1.5hours.....and to complicate things even more, while we were putting the driver side led on, the bolt fell into the hole and couldnt get it out....so we ended up having duct tape everywhere on the inside of the hood...everything seems to be working as of now, but we'll see what time and heat creates....im thinkn maybe i should juss cut power to the driver side indicator so i dont have to worry bout it...juss a thought though....any ideas of what time and heat will do to this setup?

Putting those LED washers aint no joke on a maxima, 4times I dropped the bolt and washer into that damn hole in the hood. The freagin hood on the maxima is nice, except that the washers are like about 1.5" deep in the hole. That is where the problem is.
