2014 CX-5 Tail Light Swap (to 2016 OEM LED)

Hey all, I've been doing some research to see if I can put 2016 CX-5 GT LED tail lights on my 2014 Touring model.

What I've come across so far is that it's plug and play but I'm confused on one thing - the 2014 stock tail light housing has a black 3rd connector which is absent on the 2016 LED housing. Will it require new wiring? I've attached pictures.

Definitely a novice at this stuff and would appreciate any insight.

I installed Sylvania red and white LEDs in my taillights. Pretty easy and only $60 or so. They look good and are very bright. Retro fit LED headlights might not be as good but I like being able to replace a single bulb if necessary.
