Question FORD F150 SMOKE LED 3RD BRAKE TAIL LIGHT Installation question

I bought this light from racer-union on EBay. It says plug and play, but I can't find the connection point on my wiring harness. Has anybody installed this light?

Look in the opening where the light came from. Towards the passanger side there is a white clip holding the wire for the sockets to the cab. Push that clip in to get another 6" or so of cable loose. Now you have the plug that removes the sockets and plugs in the light.

We now require pics of the install

Talking pics

I was able to remove the clip. After I pulled the harness out enough to connect it I added duct tape around the sharp metal edges and taped down the connectors. Also I loaded the screws up with marine caulk to prevent water from passing through the holes. Pretty easy install. The pics files are too large so I posted them in my picture section.

Awsome looking 3rd brake light dude, an easy way to change the size of an image is right click, select edit, it sould bring up Paint, and go to image, select stretch/skew, change the percentage to a lower percentage to your liking and save or (save as) if you want to keep your original pics.
great job though!
