Hey Mike! You probably have a dummy plug in that bumper hole right now. Is there a wiring harness with a connector plugged into the back of the plug? Assuming there is, all you need is the # HM40975. If you're missing the wiring harness you need the # HM11141144 instead. I attached some installation videos below for your reference. Feel free to reply if you need anything else.
