New hatch hookup...lil' help

[TONYCASH]

Here are pics of my BEAUTIFUL new (to me ) $35.00 hatch.I want to just swap it out.Now,I don't need to hook anything up except the tag lights( I don't have bottle or switch,yet).I showed pics of the wires that come out.Can I just cut/splice mine where they go in the car or ???
Also,is there a way to test the tag lights first ?Should I just swap out my old,I know they work.
I took extra pics because I have 3 festivas and this hatch is just Beautiful here in Ohio.Looks new.We have way too much rust.Going back to get doos,hood and fenders soon.All for under $100 total.

dang, they cut your wires?!? i would have had them wait and unpluged the harness on the driverside and then pulled the harness out before they removed it (it's really easy to do)

I would unplug the wires in your old hatch and feed them into the new hatch so it all works when you get the rest of the parts.

so,even the old wires in my old hatch have a wiper wire in the hatch...unhooked ?
