My 93 F250 came with two connectors, that are just forward of the rear bumper. I was told that they are for wiring for a trailer. Where would I find the proper wiring harness, to plug into these connectors?

I'd rather not cut them off and scab onto them... If possible.

When you buy the trailer plug wiring from an auto store it will have a plug that plugs right into those connectors if they are the ones I am thinking one should be for just the lights and the other should be for and electric brake controls and there should be another plug under your dash drivers side to plug a brake controller into.

Ford still carries them. There were 2 styles offered- a large 7pin with round pins inside it and a standard 7pin RV connector.

I cut off the oem barrel connector and wired it to a modern RV barrel plug. My truck came with a brake controller, although I'm not convinced it's working properly. Most likely going to replace it anyway.

I just bought a T-connector from summit racing that plugs in between your tail lights harness and puts a 4 pin pigtail for a trailer. No splicing or cutting wires. But also no electric brakes.

Only problem with that is, it puts more load on an overtaxed headlight switch and and harness.
