2012 - Rear bumper install

I am replacing my bumper, I already have a new painted one ready to go on. I've seen some youtube videos on removal of the existing bumper, but no one goes into a lot of detail of transferring the old wires and harnesses on the back of the told bumper to the new one. Also transferring the diffuser. Any help/tricks, assistance would be great. Thanks.

My only advise is to replace the reverse light bulbs while you are there because you have to pull the bumper to change them. Mind as well put new ones in while you are there.

thanks. specifically which lights are you referring to? taillights, turn signal, side markers, all of them, etc? i see some people do led taillights. that worth it? vendor who supplies them?
