License plate light help

[childofthewind]

This might be one of those painfully obvious explanations, but I'm a little stumped with a license plate light issue.

My driver side license plate light does not work. Upon further investigation (after checking the functioning bulb) I noticed that the wires to the passenger side lights are connected (the one's in the pic) but the driver side wires are disconnected with no connecting wires to be found, I've looked and felt around everywhere.

The harness gets pushed behind the overflow tank and can be hard to find. It should be there.
If not, you could jump or combine the wires from the two lights as they go to the same wires anyway.

I was about to reply "I've checked everywhere and it's truly nowhere to be found!" but made myself go dig around one more time and sure enough there it was behind and nearly beneath the expansion tank.

Thanks insyncro; more than anything I just needed to hear that it had to be there somewhere.
