It depends on whether or not your 2024 Chevy Colorado came with a factory 7-Way connector. If it did you can install the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness item # C55384. This will plug in behind your 7-way and provide you with a 4-flat connector you can use to power your reverse lights and tailgate bar.
If yours did not come with a factory 7-Way you'll need to install the Hopkins Multi-Tow 7-Way Blade and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector item # HM11141144 by splicing into your factory wiring. There are no plug in options if you do not have a factory connector.
I linked a couple of installation videos below so you can see how to get these parts set up.

Hey, how did things go with wiring the reverse lights and tailgate bar on your Colorado? Did the Curt T-Connector give you the plug-in option you wanted without cutting into the factory wiring? Your update could make it easier for others adding similar lighting setups.
