E-codes + LEDs

My Valeo Ecodes came with a little receptacle to plug in some wedge style "city" or "parking" lights (not sure which one exactly), has anyone been able to use this? I want to plug in some aftermarket LED's from TunerDomes, but after checking to see if that particular receptacle get's current, it looks as if the wiring going into the headlight's plug has skipped the wire of the receiving end of the receptacle. Not sure if any of that made sense. But I was wondering if it would be a simple splicing job? Would I have to throw on any resistors to ensure the bulb doesn't blow?

These are the ones I'm wanting to put in: http://www.tunerdomes.com/index.php?...d&productId=34

If any of this was confusing, I could take some pics.
