    Hi I am needing to wire in a 4 pin trailer plug because there is none currently hooked in. There is a spare plug that doesn't look like it’s going anywhere with 4 prongs but I don’t know if I should cut it up and see if it’s trailer wire if or if it’s for something else and if there is a plug for it.

    That's your license plate light connector. I see somebody has replaced the bumper. They forgot to plug it back in. To confirm, there should be 2 green wires and 2 white/black wires.

    Dude you can get a harness that just plugs in line with tail lights,around 60 bucks and worth every penny

    Thanks guys TW is always so fast and helpful I know about the harness for the taillights that could be used but was wondering why there was a stray plug because it seemed to me that both sides were plugged in. 3 total plugs... but I may just end up getting the harness

    Do your license plate lights work?

    Strange. Anyway, I would still buy the plug and play setup. Since you have to connect the magic turn signal box to the turn signals and brake lights, it would be much easier to just plug it in.
