Default LED tail lights

I wanted to get some led tail lights, but I don't know how I would get them to work. I saw some pics of the back side of one, and it has these connectors on them. However it says no modification needed (I don't see how), sorry I can't explain this better but I can't find the pics to show you guys what I'm talking about. How would I get them to work? heres the link to one of them: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-02...em120108533697

make sure when you are plugging them in to match the black wires together. You will see what I am talkin about.

the ones you posted would look if you were to smoke them. Did you talk to anyone who has these yet so you know if they are quality or POS's as far as brightness and how well they are sealed. I've seen some that were so dim it was hard to tell if they lit up or not.

That's what I don't understand about these lights, what is there to plug them into? They obviously don't use the stock bulbs.

The ones I posted was just for an example, I will probably get the smoked ones and as for the feedback, it got 99.9% positive feedback, so it should be a good product.

The brake lights flash when you put the turn signal on.

if they are like the ones i have they plug directly in under the truck. if you look under your bed you will find a block that the plugs for the lights fit in just unplug the light pull out the whole harness and replace. just make sure they give you a left and right harness they gave me two harness from the same side so what i did was broke the little tab off that indicates left from right side plug. then i pulled all the wires out of the new plug and one by one replaced them to match the correct side and they work fine. just plugged em in and they work like a charm.
