Default Adding OEM engine apperance package light kit

Too much conflicting information on adding the OEM lights to the engine bay. 2023 2LT. I wanted to use up some of my GM points to add the the OEM engine light kit. So i bought direct from Chevy/GM and not the aftermarket companies that offer the whole package. However all the internet information has been conflicting and i ordered the harness that did not work for my 2LT. The dealer was confused as hell when i was trying to explain what i needed because yes the harness i bought fits my car using my VIN as do a couple other harness but i want to ADD the kit and not buy the same harness i already have or buy the harness that does not work with my high mount camera mirror. All will fit but not necessarily be the right part.. Does anyone know the correct part number for the harness to CONVERT a 2LT WITHOUT the engine appearance package to a 2LT WITH the engine appearance package?
This is the part i ordered..............but it does not look right. It had no connection going up to my upper camera. GM Genuine Parts Rear Compartment Lid Wiring Harness Extension

Part No.: 85536900
Thanks for any help

Thanks this was an outstanding video on how to install. I will refer back to it whenever i get the right harness for my 2023 2LT. Still so much conflicting info on what the right part is. I may just need to buy them all and return the ones that don't fit. :~)
Maybe just need to buy the complete kit from Wiildhammer or some other places that offer the full kit. I was only buying direct from GM because I had GM points to burn off and using the points, the whole thing cost nothing to me.

thanks for the video link...

The website listed in the video asks for the VIN of your car:

Guessing the vendor requires this to make sure you get the correct part? Best of luck.

I added the OEM lights and made my own wiring, with a switch next to the drivers shoulder harness. Power came from the rear fuse panel. I like being able to control the lights by switch.
