Just hopefully they didn't change the style connector for the 07's. Can anyone confirm that they didn't and that this will work?

BTW: Thanks for all they help. I've been searching the net for a few days now and was getting nowere, and getting frustrated.

I installed the Hidden Hitch T-connector(4 prong), it went in pretty easy and it works great. The truth is it's not a true "T-connector", more like a wiring harness that connects between both tail lights.
BTW, in order to take out your headlights, you need to open the tailgate, remove the two hex screws on the side of each tail light, and then pull the tail lights straight out from the body of the truck as they are in rubber grommets. The T-connector(harness) simply goes into between the top tail light connector and factory harness connector on each side.
Not sure if it differs on the '07. I ordered mine from www.hidden-hitches.com, you could give them a call for tech info. They screwed up my first order as they sent me a generic trailer wiring kit, in which you need to splice into the actual factory harness. After a few phone calls and emails, and about a week later, they sent me the correct part, and told me to keep the first one they sent.

Sounds great guys. I ordered mine this afternoon. I appreciate all the help you guys have been in this thread. I'll let you know if anything goes wrong, but it sounds like it's going to be a pretty simple install compared to what i've done in the past with my other vehicles.
