    I'm working to install the pro tailgate spoiler w/ lights and have no idea how I can thread the wires through the little loom into the bed and onto the taillights. Have considered cutting or something destructive, but there's got to be a better way if companies like Rave are selling a plug 'n' play wiring harness.

    Thanks for your help and/or smart remarks!

    Stop on by this evening. I've got drills and hammers, that's all we should need (besides the beer).

    Haha! I'll take a stab. When I installed mine, I used the Rave harness and ran the wire on the inside of the tailgate to the wire loom between the tailgate and the bed. The pass through connector on the tailgate and the bed comes apart. I don't have pictures of it but can take some if absolutely needed. I ran my wires through there, closed the pass through back up, then tied into the 7-pin harness on the backside with a 7-pin T adapter to add a 5-pin trailer connection. I used the brown and white wire for the marker lights and ground.
