Thanks for the info! What did you do with the factory plug for the license plate light? Did it throw any codes not being hooked up to anything?Had to give a little attention to the rear end:

Prepped and painted the bumpers with Por15, in the basement paint-shop, as always!!
2 Coats of base and 1 top coat
It's not perfect, but that's all good! We plan to bash and like the imperfect look. "Rugged".
We have a few plans for lighting....coming soon!
With the aftermarket bumper, comes a license plate relocate. We chose to go with Artec, as it elevated the plate and allowed the wheel to be shown. Love the wheels, so we want them to be seen, so here we go:
Here is the mount, step by step:
22mm on the long bolts and 19mm on the short:
What was nice, is that we just flipped our Teraflex (Alpha HD) 3rd brakelight mount.....literally just turnt it 180 to 6 o'clock.

For these lights (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RXHBQ24/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1), the RED/WHITE is positive for accessory marker and BLACK is ground (as typical).
Ran some 16ga red/black in 1/4in sheat shrink from the light through the tailgate and used waterproof connectors:
Bought some cheap LED lights form amazon for the license plate:
