Niken Electricals and wiring

[maximNikenGT]

Starting a  thread dedicated to Niken electrical components. Anyone happen to know what size fuses the Niken uses? Are they the mini fuses? Am trying to add a circuit to the high beam fuse ( assuming the Niken has a separate fuse for high beams).

Fairly certain they are Mini blade type, similar to the FJ/MT/Tracers.

Here's what's listed in the GT service manual. I don't know if they are all blade type but I would think most are.

The 50a main is NOT a traditional blade type, it’s red and somewhat sealed.

Need some help identifying which wire is for the high beams please. Am trying to connect the high beam as a trigger wire for my power distribution unit to link my auxiliary lights. My Niken service manual indicates it's number 82 but cannot tell which color. Anyone know how to interpret these wiring diagrams?

So am learning about all kinds of things in trying to attach bullet connectors for the first time. So far it looks like i've done a lousy enough job of crimping/stripping the wires to connect with the male/female bullet plugs that it doesn't always establish a strong electrical connection for my automatic turn signals. 

Was told by a friend that for low voltage wires that soldering was typically the only way to ensure that you had solid enough connections - crimping/stripping by itself isn't enough. 

The following video illustrates the various types of connectors one will encounter and I found it helpful.

There is a better way and it's waterproof...
