Wanted under seat lights for the backseat. Got confusing trying to piece everything together. Truck is a 2018 Express. Started with my bench under seat lights journey with this thingy not connected to anything:

88E8EB57-20CB-41D5-A190-974E38DE2ADC.JPG

Ordered wrong connector 68186565AA. No bueno:

Ordered the right connector 68217325AA so making progress:

Then the bezel 5KX15DX9AB clips onto the LED light:

Connector w/ pigtail matches connector on LED wire 55057286AD then bezel clips on:

(Can only upload 5 pics at a time) Then wait for it...

I’m going to add lights this week as well, are these the wires needed to get power to the rear lights?

W4ZWA, the green and white wires twisted together go to the sub. I wanted install oem under seat lights in the back. i pulled the carpet back and never found the wire for the light. Huge bummer.

Yeah like 50/50 some trucks had the prewire for the lights. I know my 18 Express didn't.

Gotcha. My express has the plugs under the seat but no wires attached to them, I was hoping the wires were under the carpet to taped up somewhere on the harness.

I bought some flush mount led's and drilled a couple of holes into the rear cup holder...I did have wires in the existing connectors under the seat, so I tapped into them under the carpet in the storage area...
