I would be happy to help!
To install the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Bracket # LPL55CB on your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon and power it through your current trailer connector you will just need to get a trailer end 4-way connector # 18004.
You will connect the black wire from the bracket light to the brown wire on the 4-way connector, and the white wire from the bracket light to the white wire on the 4-way connector using heat shrink butt connectors # DW05744-5.
Keep in mind that if you ever go to tow a trailer you will have to unplug the harness which will leave you without a license plate light. So if you will be towing a trailer at any time you would be better off grounding the white wire from the license plate bracket to the frame of your vehicle, and running the black wire to the running light circuit (Brown Wire) of your trailer connector using a quick splice # SWC502905-1 to make the connection. If you need additional wire you can use # 16-1-1.
Doing the install this way will allow you to not use your trailer connector so you can still tow a trailer if needed.
I included a few video reviews of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
