I used to run their bracket with the oro light on my factory carrier. I went through a rubber grommet and the wiring is behind that black panel on the tail gate. I had to remove the subwoofer and other plastic to get into the passenger corner from the inside. Wasn't hard. I really liked the rh bracket. But i upgraded to a heavy duty license plate holder since.

Yea i wanted to try and use the wiring channel already in the tailgate if you can. Then back out the hole/grommet already in the gate for the original 3rd brk light. Is that the way you went?

It's been a while, but I think so. I just ran the wire from the oro light into the passenger side corner, but I think I used maybe the brown wire for something. I'd have to look, been a while. I had to redo everything with my tire carrier. It's not hard by any means.

Used OEM wire to the factory plug in the tailgate for the 3rd brake light. then only had to run 1 wire to the passenger tail light and tied into the tail light wire (white-purple stripe) for the license plate light.

When you pull the passenger side plastic the wire harness goes through a rubber plug to avoid having to peel all the shielding off - run the wire through the plug and splice in inside the void behind the light.
I used one of there - piece of cake

Any auto-parts or home improvement/hardware store or even walmart will have them.

I just ran it through the vent behind my tramp stamp then along the factory wiring behind the flat plastic piece on the inside of the tailgate then followed the factory wiring to the the passenger side tail light area. I have all the holes in my tail gate plugged.

That rubber grommet on top is where you should go into. There is the third brake light wire on the tail gate for the stop, I think it was Brown. Then inside the passenger side is the white and purple for the license plate light. Then black is ground.
The white and purple is running lights that trigger the license plate light.
