Not to be a nervous nelly but watch out for T-taps. They are notoriously unreliable and often the "weak link" that bite you in the butt on an install or even customer comebacks.
Better option would be to cut the wire you want to tap into, twist one end of the cut wire with the "tap" wire and put them into a seamless crimp connector, double strip the other end of the cut wire, fold it over and put it in the other end of the connector and crimp. This gives a positive contact everytime.
