That does look like half of the factory wiring usually used to install wiring kits that fit the OEM wiring like the Curt kit part # C56172 which you can see in the install video I attached. If you only have that single harness though you won't be able to use this kit since it needs the matching side. So instead you'd need a kit like the part # HM40285 which installs by plugging inline with the taillight connectors.
