2019 chevy colorado with new camper shell. I need to wire the cap brake light.
What is the best way to do this given the use of one bulb in the taillight

There is most likely a wire ran for it underneath your truck. Look for a light blue wire on the drivers side next to the spare tire. Positive lead to blue wire, ground to a frame ground and you're done.

Blue wire is for trailer brake control. Orange is most likely the 12v you're looking for in a GM. 2015 Chevy Colorado owner. I went the dumb/easy way and just spliced into a 4 pin trailer connector.
