Aftermarket Taillights

Recently bought these tail lights and went to install them myself this passed weekend and realized that the “plug and play” was indeed not plug and play. The plugs didn’t match up and wanted to know if anyone had any advice on whether or not I have to splice the wires or if I should buy a factory plug and replace the one on the aftermarket tail lights and if anyone had any advice in general on how to do any of this. Thank you!

Of the 2 options, I'd go for changing the plugs on the lights so they mate with the car. That way, if you ever re-install the stock lights, they'll just plug in.

Do you know how I would go about trying to find tht part?

Decided I was just going to take the connectors off the factory tail lights because I cannot find what I need for a reasonable price so is there anywhere online I can find how to splice them?
