2. This is fairly obvious, but when you cut the wires that go to the OEM signals the black is always your ground and the green is your hot.
3. You will need resistors, or even better get a new relay from autoparts store should be like $10-$15. why? because these are LEDs and there is not enough load. Therefore your OEM relay thinks theres an open and the rear blinkers wont flash. If youre getting resistors get 8-10 ohm. There are also load balancers that other places sell but I recommend a new relay.
Hope this helps and feel free to ask if you have any more questions.
