    Ok
    So I want some cool blackout tail lights as my ride is beginning to look rather sinister (as intended) and the factory tail lights just aren't doing it for me. I bought some smoked out LED lights off Ebay and they came with this connector. All the feedback would suggest that they are plug and play easy. No one else seems to have a problem indicating the vehicle end of this wiring connection is factory but no distributor has it listed for 3Gen Tacos...

    However, the previous owner (who only had it 500 miles) installed HID's in everything! So now the female connectors to the truck don't fit the interface on the lights. I've called several specialty automotive connector places and they're lost too! Can I just circumvent the problem by choosing another quick-connect adapter all together? Don't know much about new tech auto wiring so I thought to see if anyone recognizes this connector or has a make shift solution.

    Those connectors are mimicking the filament bulbs that they replace. o_O
