Welcome to Guitar Tricks, Laurathecoconut!

Look for the wiring instructions at the DiMarzio (http://www.dimarzio.com/) website.

They use different colour coding for the wires, but you should able to figure it out.

BTW: I strongly recommend using series/parallel switching for the humbuckers instead of a simple coil tap. Coil tapping simply shorts out one of the humbucker coils, and then you lose the noise reduction a humbucker (hum bucking) is designed to provide.

Ya man, don't bother with coil tapping. I have series/parallel on my Tele and it rocks. You get no-noise-single-coil sound.
