    I am in the process of adding a LED to the BSM. I need to tap into an aluminum wire going to the BSM LED in the mirror.

    Any suggestions on how to do this? I don't want to cut the wire and I cannot solder to it so I'm looking for solutions.

    Aluminum doesn't solder. I don't have room to use a butterfly tap.
