Underneath the vehicle by the passenger side fender well we will take out this fastener and then we will take out another fastener underneath the bumper. Repeat the same thing back over on the driver side. First thing we want to do when we take off the bumper cover is this will pop out to the side. Work it back and forth so it comes loose.

To do that you can see we have got two covered connectors on the inboard side. We just want to pry off the lid and that is going to reveal a Phillips head screw. With those two removed we can gently rock the tail light back and forth to release the outboard clips of the tail light. With the tail light removed you can see our connection port is located directly on the back side of the tail light.

We will begin our install by getting inside the vehicle and getting to the jack storage compartment. Once you take out the jack, reach down and you can actually feel for the wire harness down here. Feel around until you find the plastic plug. It does not come out far, but you can see it right here. And you pull it up. There is not much slack in it, but that is the connector right there. It is at the very bottom of the jack storage compartment. And simply your T-1 connector will just plug right into it. And also then your ground connector can connect to the ground wire that is at the bottom of the compartment.
