Question:
Hi there I saw the video on how to set the light kit up, but did not see the other end where it connects to the vehicle. Can you tell me how I can plug it in directly to my Acuras OEM trail hitch plug or do I need to buy another module to confer the plug? Please let me know if I can provide additional info for you. Technically unsavvy in this. Thank you.

No worries and thanks for entrusting etrailer!
To power the lights # 98174LED, you will need a 4-Way wiring harness on the vehicle. If you need one, use T-One harness # 118424. It plugs directly into existing wiring. The connection point or plug in connector is located in the rear cargo area. I included an instruction link showing you the step by step directions.
If you need a 4-way to 7-way adapter (if you already have a 7-way on your MDX) then the Tow Ready # 30717 will suffice.
I recommend using dielectric grease like # 11755 to keep moisture out of the electrical connections.
I also included a couple videos for you to view prior to your installation.
