Default Switchback Harness

Can someone help me out here, I believe this is the switchback harness with the LED bulbs for my 2000 C5. I have removed the headlight hoping to find where this harness plugs into the factory harness. I traced the wires as far back as I could see with no luck. Can anyone verify that this is the correct harness for a 2000 C5 or am I just having a bad day here?
I have also looked for a video that shows the installation but only find one for a C6. I know the answer is going to be obvious but wont be the first time I looked ignorant....LOL

Default Looks like load resistors

Look up jw motoring,( fourm vendor) he sells a electronic flasher that replaces the regular flasher on your car, then you can run LED bulbs on all 4 corners of your corvette and it’s a simple plug & play unit

Harness will not be the same between a C5 and a C6. That looks like that would go in the main harness to the turn signals/fog lights. The plug for that harness is located to the front of the right headlight if I recall correctly. In any case, it will be somewhere in the right headlight bumper area, and you should need only one of them if that's really how it is designed. Otherwise, that is not designed for a C5, you will probably have to get Radioflyer's harness. Or make your own.

I would doublecheck with Radioflyer to make sure you have the right harness. I don't recall seeing a harness like that near the front turn signals.
