Where to get the wiring harness bracket for curt hitch
i just ordered the curt hitch for my GX and was wondering where I can get the wiring harness bracket so I can mount it to somewhere near the hitch for trailer light.

Did you look underneath the GX? I am not sure what year your GX is, but I thought all of them came with the wiring harness and bracket near the bumper. Here's a link to my Curt Hitch install.

I think I get what the OP is saying.
When you get the official Lexus hitch, it comes with a bracket to relocate the wiring harness from its original location onto the hitch itself.
You don't get that with the curt. With that said, I have a curt and the factory harness location isn't all that bad. I've towed several things and you just have to get under there and plug it in, its still in an accessible location, you just have to get on the ground to look at it.

exactly...look like I will have to get a factory hitch so I can relocate the harness for easy access. Might be a little too old to crawl underneath the vehicle at this age.

Does your curt hitch touches the plastic bumper once installed? I just install a curt hitch on my 15 GX and it touches the rear bumper. I'm scare that I have tighten the bolt too much that it could crack the bumper. Thinking about adding another spacer so it hitch and bumper does not touch but not sure if I need too. When I was tighening it, I didn't feel if I was putting force on the bumper but since I didn't have a torque wrench I tighten it as much as I could.
