    Where did you do said cut?
    At the light?
    All you need to power lights is two wires, positive and negative. More details would help

    Wait... You knew enough on how to wire up a relay but you don't know how to return it back to the way it was???

    #1: Remove relay

    #2: Assuming you have enough wire splice them back together with connectors.

    #3: Assuming you don't have enough wire. Buy more wire of the same color and splice them back together with connectors.

    is it that easy? I doubt myself due to the fact that I was dumb enough just to mess with the stock wiring:mad::(

    Unless you've done something that is unusual then yes, it should be that easy.
