REAR BUMPER BRAKE LIGHTS

All in all it's basically an inline coupling. It's tougher to explain it than it really is.

I understand the big harness just goes inline with the outside plug to give you the needed wires. The two harnesses that go outwards to the bumper lights do not look correct. There is not a way to plug a bulb in them?? It is a weather lock clip like terminal on the ends. Am I missing something? I do not have the lights yet, as I wanted to check out the harness first. Thanks in advance.

I have an extended warranty too, but I hardwired mine into the factory harness. I got the lamp sockets with the triple pigtails from the dealer. But Marius did the same set-up as me and got some after-market sockets and tails. It's just a generic pair of 3157 sockets. Of course Marius found it easier to pull the entire bumper to do the installation. Not for me, too manly!

Jimmy, if those are Weatherpack ends with 3 conductors then you are in good shape. They plug directly into the sockets which should come with the lamp housings and bulbs from GM.

I second that, I'm sorry I'm not more help but I did this quite a while ago. My dealer had an old box with the lights, brackets, and harness all mixed together in open packages and wanted to get rid of it. I dont know if they were from a later year truck, a tear out or what. All I know is all the parts came together and worked.

Hate to drag up an old thread, but I would like to get a set of these light. Are they still available? Is there a complete kit part number?

Thanks
