Question:
Trying to figure out what wires I need to make this work. I am buying a cargo carrier that blocks my plate so I know I need this. I will include a screen shot of what is in my cart and maybe you would know what I am missing to make this all work. I will be having it professionally installed on a 2017 Kia Soul. If there is something I don’t need in my cart feel free to let me know that also.

Helpful Expert Reply:
You'd want to first install trailer wiring on your 2017 Kia Soul so that you can have a circuit designed for the running lights that will power the # LP55CB. For that you'd need the part # 118637 which will give you a 4-way connector.
Then for the wiring of the # LP55CB you'd need to wire the part # HM48110 to it. The white wire goes to the ground and the brown stripe wire runs to the power wire of the light. The rest of the wires would not be used.
