Bed is now installed so it's time to hook up the brake & stop lights. Unfortunately I don't know where the connection is. Here's a pic of the harness, and I'm assuming I make my own connections at the rear with the bare ends of these wires. But where do the two front connectors go? http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d...20Pickup/20150923_155534_zpscc4xsccq.jpg

But there's a problem. I don't have any unused connectors for these two tail light harness to connect to. No empty connectors under the dash or in the engine compartment. I expected to find them, didn't, and turned here in hopes of figuring out what was going on.
I purchased a "complete wiring set" with an alternator conversion harness by American Autowire through Tuckers. The instructions weren't the best but I got it in and it all works, except for this one problem.
Thoughts, comments, or suggestions??

Just crawled under there and found the two connectors right where they belong. I have no recollection of their being there, but like I said, I installed the harness months ago and life has been a bit crazy since then.
Tomorrow's task: rear lighting install.
Did I mention, "thank you"??
