So I see that the OE kit (5G1052200C) comes with a wiring harness but it needs additional tail light connectors and some work.

Do aftermarket harnesses avoid the need to run the stock harness up to the drivers side BCM?

Who provides the best pricing on a 7.5 to 7.5 harness?

Yes the harness in the OEM kit is useless to is in North America. I mean I guess you could use it but it would be a pain in the ass. ZERO815's harness is simple, well made and the instructions he gives are excellent.

You don’t need this. Just get a big zip tie. That’s how I did it, and it’s pretty easy.

This.
I inserted and taped together like 3 long zip ties to snake wires through the rear quarter panel, rubber hatch boot, and the hatch trim (didn't completely remove the big hatch trim). Worked just fine.

I used a metal snake and it was honestly kinda a PITA because it was so stiff (haha), if you could get a flexible one it would be perfect though (i imagine that's what the zipties are like). I was super scared of ripping the rubber grommets so i went slow and it all worked out.

Finally got the tails installed. Haven't put everything back together, but I'm getting a lighting fault about the license plate.

My left bulb isn't working. Any ideas?

You'll probably need to post up who's harness you're using so those knowledgeable about the coding can see if something was perhaps coded incorrectly.

Can anyone point me to a fix for a reverse light error with jbale harness please?

Everything appears to work physically except the dash error.

I don't think it's a coding issue. I went behind the car and tapped on the light and it turned on. Seems like a loose connection or a bad bulb. Maybe it's a coincidence?
