Default small tail light bulb

im kinda new to this site and i recently had to change my tail light harness
and i noticed that i have these small bulbs on the corner of the tail lights with their own separate harness but they are not connected to anything so im wondering if they should be connected or what they are for someone let me know thanks

they are marker lights and they should be connceted and come on with the parking lights. Trace the stock taillight wiring and solder them back up.

Yes they will have there own harness. But just like black ac gsr said, find on your tail light what wire is your power and ground, and then just wire that harness into it, that will make the bulb turn on when you turn you parking lights on.

No it should not be disconnected, from factory they are wired into the tail light harness.
