should be plug and play.. I wired in a new LED brake light on mine (Z28 replacement) and I didnt need any resistors of any kind.

can i verify the new LED 3rd brake light through the connector to check it for proper operation?

yeah just plug it into the connector on the underside of the hatch and have someone hit the brakes. It should light up..

Does the replacement from hawksthridgen have the resistor already?

The only thing that will be affected if you need the resistor is your cruise control. I bought an LED unit off Amazon that was made by Spyder and I had to put a resistor in.
