Expert Reply:
Since your 2000 Chevy Silverado is equipped with the factory 7-Way connector all you will need to add a 4-Way is the Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness # 118384. This will plug right in-line with the 7-Way (no splicing, cutting, etc) to provide you with a 4-Way flat that you can use for your new light bar.
Because of how it installs it will also retain function of the existing 7-Way. I have attached an installation video that you can use for reference as well.
