solution for the two humps that seems to get in the way! I used my heat gun and a flat head screw driver and when they were hot enough I pressed them down to the point where they are now flat.Ready to install the light bar now

If you would of used the CURT 56584 Replacement Vehicle-Side Custom USCAR 5-Pin Trailer Wiring Harness you wouldn't of had to splice into anything ... you could of added a bullet connector to the white wire which is your back up lights and connected it that way ... the last pin connector on the harness is your back up lights that is where the white wire will go into it ...

Nice vid I did the same to my 2021 Toyota Tundra. I thought I was going to install the redline module just in case I had an error or malfunction. I actually used the Nilight 60 inch 3 row LED tailgate light. I just went ahead and soldered the reverse light wire on the middle white wire of the curt trailer wire harness. Made my connections and I just electrical taped the reverse wire around the main cable of my tailgate late to keep them together and make it easy to fish the wire along the inside of the bumper to the back of the trailer connection and wire tie it. But the one thing I didn't think of was the dielectric spray. I'll probably have to disconnect everything and spray it to protect my connections. Thanks for sharing.
