The OEM replacement 7-way trailer connector for the 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD is the Pollak Twist-In, 7-Pole Trailer Connector, # PK11916. If you also need the wiring harness with the round connector, then you will want the Pollak Pigtail Wiring Harness, # PK11998. Unfortunately, this is not a simple plug-in style harness. You will have to splice this harness into the factory tow package wires at the back of the truck. I have attached an installation video of this harness on a 2002 Silverado for you to check out.
When splicing in a wiring harness, it is important to connect the wires by function, not by color. I recommend using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test the wires on the truck before splicing in the pigtail harness. The wires on the Pollak pigtail harness are as follows
Red - Left Turn and Stop
White - Ground
Blue - Electric Brakes
Green - Right Turn and Stop
Black - Battery Charge
Brown - Running Lamps
Yellow - Backup Lamps

I have an 02, Silvarado, 2500 HD, towing a WW, 2000, 16 ft trailer for animals, enclosed steel, and has Peterson, 4 inch, round rear lights. I purchased two of your LED lights with gromets, and can not get right rear light to work. Facing from rear to front of trailer. The WW came with a two wire system, and my new LED's have the white, red, and black wires. My wires coming out of the bottom side of trailer ( they r run all wires inside covering of trailer) are a white and a red wire--I think that is correct as it was repainted. I had it working until one of my large goats broke the right rear, LED light, and when replacing, I seem to not be combining the wires correctly. I can not get it to work. I would appreciate how to wire this connection. Thanks
