Your gonna have to explain in more detail here, like are you talking about a wire harness or the actual lights? Trailer lights for the xploder itself or for a trailer?

Look under the rear bumper. If there is a harness that ends in a black or grey conector that is capped off, you have factory wiring. If you do, go to ford and get the proper connection to fit that.

If not, Companies like "Hoppy" make connectors that splice into the actual tail light harness.

Or if you are talking about installing lights on the back of your X to light up your trailer area behind you, there are kits for that too. I recomend just purchasing regular for lights and installing them though. I picked up a cheap pair at Walmart over a year ago and hooked them up to my hitch, and they are still going strong. Great for camping, wheeling, or cleaning up a tailgate in the dark!

You dont need to get that factory plug in harness from ford, Hoppy makes them as well. Just go to a parts store and they should be able to look up the correct plug in kit, if your equipped with that plug, or find the correct harness to wire it up.

Um, goto U-haul and buy a harness for 8 bucks. It wires right up in 10 minutes, most trailers use the flat 4 connector.
