@pgamboa sells a plug and play harness

Super easy.  Get the tail lights and their factory harnesses for them.   
 

Then, order there depending on your truck year. 
 

Plug and Play.

Is the connection these go to down by the bumper?  Do you have one of your famous videos?

You can do the wiring yourself if you want to save some money. It's super easy as I just did the swap on my 14 sierra to the 16+ LED tail lights.

No video for this one. Simply remove tail lights and harness. Install new tail lights and harness. Install my adapter harness in between.

Hey @pgamboa I have a 2016 GMC Sierra and upgrades to the LED taillights I did the modification myself added the 100 watt 3 ohm load resisters to them and they worked great got rid of the hipper flash but now my battery keeps dying over night I checked for any shorts or lights being on that can cause my battery to drain but can’t find anything problem anybody have the same issue happening? Anyway to correct it? Or is a must to buy your plug n play kit @pgamboa

Hey i just got some 17 led tail lights for my 14 and noticed the plugs are different. Was getting ready to cut up the harness but notice theres an extra red wire on the led one. Do you know what its for or if i can piggyback it to another one.

Yes, From the diagram above, just cap the red wire instead of connecting it to the brown wire and install the resistor as shown.  I haven't had any problems.

So what do I do with the red wire,what do you mean by cap it
