New taillight...

New taillight...
I just received my integrated tail-light from D-Moto today, but ran into a little hitch.
I'll start by saying that I already had an integrated taillight installed, worked great for a long while. Just recently though, the row of blue LED's near the bottom of the light ( I guess the ones that light up the license plate ) two of the five LED's were blinking on and off, I guess they are giving out. instead of tearing it apart I just ordered a new one. Screw it lol.
Anywho, I'm noticing that the new integrated taillight is missing the female black receptor where you insert one of the two plugs from the motorbike to the taillight. In its stead there are three wires with a yellow plastic male plug.
My question is, what do I do? Is the female receptor removable from the old taillight? Can I just trade it from the old taillight to the new?
Any info appreciated!

No, sorry.
Let me clear that up.
There are two round openings near the back of the taillight, well one of them is open and three wires are protruding with a yellow male conector/plug. The other round opening is sealed with a rubber cover and has only two wires coming out. One yellow and one blue (I already know what to do with those.)
My question was about the first round opening on the taillight. Normally it is sealed with a black round female receptacle where you can plug in one of the two plugs from the motorcycle to the taillight.
On this new taillight there is no female receptacle, its open and has three wires coming out (one yellow, one red, one black all joined with a yellow male plug.)
The question was, what do I do about this since I have nowhere to connect the motorcycle to taillight plug.

Well sometimes figuring stuff out one-self is the best way to do it!
Sure enough, the female receptacle can be removed, and I just rewired it to the new tail-light, which is GLORIOUS! lol, well at maybe not that, but at least the blue LED's dont flash on and off anymore.
Here are a few pics of what I meant by an empty hole where the receptacle should have been and of the new tail-light installed.
pic 1- Empty hole
pic 2- can barely see the line of five blue LED's that were malfunctioning.
pic 3&4- tail-light installed and looking nice.
Done and done.

You can buy them at Amazon from D2Moto. Very good seller by the way.
Shipped fast and from USPS nonetheless!
I think 50 bucks.

Are you asking where I got the plate light? Or the tail-light?

Well installing the tail-light was not very hard in-itself. I just hooked up all the wires where they had been previously since I had already had that integrated tail-light installed, I was just replacing it with a new one. What particular part about installing the light did you have questions about? I did take a few pics while installing.
