Default Need some serious help ASAP!

So last night/ this morning I got my truck stuck after backing into a tree and busting my tail light. Then once my truck was freed I hit the other tail light on the gate to get out of the property (Long story and an even longer night). My question that I need help with is all the connector pins and basically everything that holds the tail lights on is destroyed. If I order aftermarket tail lights from Ebay will they come with everything I need to fix it or do I need to go to the dealership and ask them what I need to fix it? I'll try and post pictures of the damage later after I shower and sleep lol. Thanks as always guys.

You should be able to find connectors on-line somewhere. Sounds like you were in a spot you shouldn't of been and were making a quick get-a-way.

Nope on a friends property and I was going faster than I wanted because it had recently rained and if you were going any slower than 5-10 mph you would sink it and just spin

it looks like you are missing some connectors but we can't see which ones or where.

Your best bet is to go online and search for a pigtail connector for each and every bulb type for the tails (brake light, parking light, turn signal, & reverse) and then get to work...

If you use the direct link and attach it to the img button it will display your pics for you on here instead of having to pull up another page.

WOW you literally ripped the whole connecting piece out. What a night lol. I broke my socket for my blinker and have looked around a lot and have came up with nothing so if you do find a site let me know
