On a 2 door 2009 jk x series where is the quick connection for the T plug to hook up trailer lights? Can't find it anywhere. Need help. A picture would be great too. THANKS

I think you use the tail light plug. Fyi I wired mine up with 7 bucks. Using the 4way plug and running the wires to the tail light wires and taping them together.

Not sure if its the same as on my TJ, but on my TJ the only place you could plug a harness was the driver side rear tail light.

I if you have a reciever it right next to it on the drivers side. If your asking were to hook the wiring up its wired into the drivers side tail light.

Yes, if you buy the mopar trailer light kit, you just unplug the taillight and plug the trailer harness into that.

Just installed a t-connector on my KJ (Liberty) two days ago, one set of plugs went to the driver tail light, the other to the passenger side.

If you bought the OEM kit, you take off your left tail light and unplug the tail light. Your connetor fits between the tail light and the orginal wiring and then drops down the inside of the back quarter panel to the under side of the Jeep. You even have factory holes in the frame to plug the little plastic plugs into.

I am pretty sure that is how I did mine. I bought the mopar kit from 4WD.com and it came with directions.
