Custom 3rd Brake Light w/ CF Trunk - Connector Help

Hey guys, looking for some information on what would be the best way to install a custom 3rd brake light.

When I removed my stock trunk, with spoiler, the 3rd brake light is now gone. And there isn't one in the rear window. So I bought a cheap one off amazon just to stick there and make it legal:

Amazon.com: Car 32 LED Red Third Brake Stop Rear Light Lamp 12v: Automotive Amazon.com: Car 32 LED Red Third Brake Stop Rear Light Lamp 12v: Automotive

I'm trying to figure out where I can buy this connector:

And this is what it plugs into:

If anyone knows the name or where I can buy this connector (the male one) I'd appreciate it. I can't seem to find it on ebay, amazon, etc. so I was thinking maybe an online connector store might have one. Any info would be great, thanks fellas!

Well I was trying not to cut the factory spoiler harness and the harness that plugs into it. Plus I'm not sure about the female part of this harness. It is wrapped in foam and tied to the trunk pop harness, so I don't know if it's together or not (as one piece/harness). I haven't looked under the foam.

Really not good with wiring so I was looking for a simple plug and play solution honestly. Let me know what you think would be best, thanks man.

A connector is a connector. The delphis are extremely easy to install. No offense, but if you cannot do simple things on your own car, you should not own it in the first place.

Leave the connector alone all together and just t-tap the wires behind it. Use a male spade crimp on your new light to plug right in and call it a day.

Make sure you get a decent multimeter so you're tapping the right wire for +/-.

Just because you cant do something on your car, doesnt mean you cant own the car...
O.P was trying to have a plug and play set up..

If you cannot perform simple tasks like change oil, change a tire, or connect 2 wires... then you really have no business owning a car.

Even if he did find a OEM connector, he would still have to wire it.

Thanks OB. Looks simple.

I'm actually very mechanically inclined and do ALL the work on my car (except the wiring, headunit). Just haven't learned electrical yet. Was just looking for a solution I could do myself instead of bugging a buddy or something. And I'm well aware how to change oil and connect two wires. But thanks for your concern!
