On the drivers side of the tail light there is a plug. Get up under the bumper and you will see a round plug and you have to do is unplug the plug from the light and plug in the wiring harness. The wiring harness will act like a patch and connects in about 15 seconds. Just make sure you have the right harness. The plug should be round.
u can buy one at the auto parts store and they plug into the tail light harness usually buy unpluging it and pluging in the harness

You can get an adapter plug for most Ford and GM trucks that just plugs in to the tail light wiring.
