Are you in a pre 2005 SUV?

Just tap into the stock light you currently have - behind the bumper should be the place to do it. I assume your taking your other light off?

im still not sure where to attach the wires going to the new light on the spare tire carrier... their are two wires black and white with a connector on the end... but i looked under the back bumber and im not sure were to connect it...or even if i spliced them into somewhere? anyone have a idea or a diagram?? thanks alote!

Black wire to brown wire under back of truck, in a bundle on the RH side. White wire to chassis ground. If you have a question on this, take the truck to someone who is experienced in this type of stuff. Incorrect wiring mods of this type can 'let the smoke out of' the Body Control Module--it's a $500 part buried underneath the dash.

i found a brown wire under the right hand side.. grouped togther with a red and back wire.. would that be the correct brown wire? thanks

Brown wire on the trailer connector, all wires on the trailer connector are clearly marked, brown wire should be park lamps. Then just find A good ground. Left side of frame right behind bumper is A factory ground.

what would be the easest way to get access to the trailer connector... how would you unplug it? its hard to see from underneath.

[HUMTECH]

Easiest way remove the 4 torx screws and remove connector from bumper and then you will be able to see it to disconnect it. There is a tab to squeeze and then it just pulls out.
