Thats my exact question. I did this yesterday and I had to open up more panels to fish the wires through the side vents. Took me way longer but I did it. This is a incomplete/wrong video to follow. There are other vids that show you how to fish the wires. Use those.
02:47 - Seems to shorten the video's time duration, he has completely skipped important step showing how you fished that guide wire to get to the wire down there. Also,, he has not shown any other steps just final result everytime he's done... bad video. 😒
this is the best video for the install! There is a ton of them on youtube, but this one is the most efficient. took 5 minutes, the majority of the time was searching for misplaced tape:-} Thanks a ton!
Thanks for the video. I have a set on order. I'm curious about how you were able to get the wire harness from the bumper lights up through the weatherstripping gap. Is there an opening near the taillight for the harness to go directly from the weatherstripping gap into the taillight cavity in the trunk for the taillight connector? I seen other installation videos that show a more circuitous route to get the wire harness from the bumper lights to the taillights.
It is a bit circuitous indeed. The taillight has space behind it for the harness and you can squeeze a hand in there. The wire is small and can slide under the stripping if needed.
The edge that the weather stripping mounts on is the demarcation between inside and outside. I used metal cutters to cut two cuts about 1/2in apart and 3/4in long to form a tab to be bent outward. I used heatsrink to toughen the wire at the crossover point and added putty to seal the gap. Over this joint, I used tape to hold the wire in place.... your mileage my very....
I bought the exact same one. But after installing it’s making all the lights blink when I put on the turn signal. Any idea why? The connections are simple. Don’t know why it’s doing that.
Was removal of light cap nut really necessary? It seems from the video that by prying the liner there is enough space to put the hand in behind to reach the connector?
I try your method but I can't find where to fish the wire

Right he casually skips the trickiest and most important step.

I attached the wires before passing the wire transfer through the hole...Help.

Reflectors are required where I live so as near as this looks I can’t do it. Thanks
I see the pins on the light side of the connector but where is the plastic housing/connector?
Can this hooks up to a model S? The link you have to amazon said it’s for model y

Lose connection? Sometimes cheap wiring can be the culprit

Yeah, you don't have to
Can I install it in the same way you did on my 2022 model Y performance? How long did it take to complete? Thank you!!
I believe so - trim should not matter. About an hour.
i can tell by his voice he is unhappy in his marrige, unfortunately.
