Don't even really need to solder, you could use wire connectors (not wire nuts) and be just fine, that's how we did my turn signals, and then just covered them in heat shrink tubing.Comment

Water will enter and short it or it will corode. The front of the car gets the most wet when its raining or if you hit a puddle. Be safe and soder or use wire butt ends and shrink wrap.

Napa sells them along with most other automotive stores.
