Can the thin wire coming off of each direction of the diode be cut to shorten the length of the diode without effecting the diode? By the time I add the jumper wire it will be much to long if it can not be cut.

I installed mine with the striped end of the diode towards the headlamp (I wanted my drl's on with the headlamps) Not towards the DRL relay.
I installed it backwards at first and nothing happened. I switched it and it worked fine.
