Need some help with some wiring
 
http://i57.tinypic.com/10yqlix.jpghttp://i57.tinypic.com/14axu82.jpg

Im trying to hook up my led drl fog lights. But i have no idea how to connect these 2 red wires? Do i just shove the metal piece inside and put the clear plastic piece over it? It doesnt seem to fit when i try it. Thanks in advance

Penetrate the male end into the female end until it's so deep that you can't easily pull it out...and make sure it's wrapped tight with the rubber glove

Test with a multimeter and see which one receives about 12VDC with the key on and the light switch in the desired position. . Tap into that one.

Green is most often a ground

Take the time find out what is right or pay the price! BCUs are not cheap as many here have found out. I don't know what is what but I do know that with the number of wires used in modern cars the "standard" colour references can go out the window. Red could very well be a ground in this case or maybe not but don't wire by guessing.

Whats the worse that can happen if i tap into the wrong wire?

Worst - Dead short, bad fuse, burned up car
Bad - Blown control module, very expensive
Moderate - Blow a 50 cent fuse, finding which is the fun part
Best - It works no issues
