LED taillight install help

I orderd LED tails off of ebay and I have a question on how to plug them in. I unplugged the bulb from the connector from the truck and it has 3 wires(i assume ground and 2 for the dual filliment). So this is what i have with the connector




The LED tails that I got come with 4 wires and they go into this wierd clip(sort of like a potato chip bag clip) and there is 4 metal wire things on the clip(for each wire i guess) so it must be a plug. This is what it looks like




So......how does this work? It looks like i need another connector but it didnt come with anything. I probly didnt explain this very well. The reverse light is a straight foreward install, all the pics i showed have nothing to do with it. Its just the brake light part

s the bulb side connection. take out the bulb and plug it in like you would put in a lightbulb. simple as that.

I cant see how that would work? Theres 3 holes on the connector fromt he truck and the connector from the tail light is a flat edge....with 4 metal things on the outside of it. Maybe im missing something

Put the socket in from the oem light. Remove the brake/turn bulb and insert the harness for the led tails. You need the socket to act as an adapter.
