And will be building an intermediary "harness" that all of the lighting will be connected into.
The bumper comes with 2x 3 wire harnesses (per side, 4 in total) for connecting all of the lights.
I read the LX450 EWD (FSM - 1997 LX450 EWD - https://forum.ih8mud.com/resources/1997-lx450-ewd.86/)
And someone last night directed me to RM06H0E to make the match of plug picture to part number.

I will soon take my rear bumper off to get powdercoated. The swing-out arms will partially obscure the tail lights so the bumper will have a set of led's. I have spent some time making a wiring harness that will plug into the factory loom. Here's the basic layout. In the right rear corner...

Questions:
- Did I get the plug part numbers right?

- I do not have a crimping tool, recommendations?
- 18 Gauge wire?
