License Plate Light on ShrockWorks

So I have a shrockworks rear bumper I installed last night and it came with a small light with two small wires coming from it. How do I wire this to the wiring harness and not have an extra license plate light hanging somewhere behind the bumper?

Unplug the OEM bumper harness and toss it. Black wire on light goes to ground, and the other wire will go to the licence plate illumination wire, which you can tap or splice into just before the OEM connector. Very easy.

I will caution you that the DOT actually requires two bulbs to illuminate the back plate. If a cop or an inspector (if your state requires them) knows that bit of trivia who knows. I went with an LED frame on mine.
