Wiring Ring Light?

We purchased a couple of these ring lights: http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...specs%2FAE.htm

Unfortunately, the wires coming out of these are ridiculously small. We had to use a knife to strip them, and even then we had no way of wiring them into the PDB. We tried to crimp them into inline connectors along with some higher gauge wires to go directly into the PDB. However, that did not work, because the small wire was too fragile to crimp. We tried twisting them to the higher gauge wire directly and they would not turn on. How have your teams wired them?
