Purchased after market tail light assy. They fit the vehicle physically, but the provision for the lighting is different. In the mid 2005 year they moved the back up light to the taillight from the rear bumper. Is there a wiring harness conversion or diagram available to make these work correctly??

There is no light in bumper, I would have to buy an assy to put in the bumper. I was hoping there was a way to do this without cutting into the wiring harness as I do not have a wiring diagram for the vehicle. Also the new lights are a three bulb set up tail, stop, turn. The old was a 2 bulb set up tail/stop + turn.
