I took photos under the car and got even more confused. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get the wires connected now. The harness that's already there is a dud according to what I've read from some posts. If the wire hose above the beam is the license plate light, then I don't know how I'm supposed to connect that cause it has no play to be tugged down.
I don't want to go the entire disassembly of the trunk panels if I can help it.
