I installed a trailer light plug in my Double Cab last summer.  What I did
is go to the junk yard and got the plugs that go into the tail lights with
20cm of wire still attached to them.  I used these plugs as extensions to
the existing wires in the van by solding spade connectors to the ends of
the wires.  I hate cutting any factory wires so I spliced into the
extension that I built.  To make sure everything was tight I used white
grease and duct tape to seal the spade connectors.  If you do it this way
you can always return it to the original factory condition.
