No junction box or plug just to plug striaght on. Need to wire to rear lamp wiring. nice and easy to do. I use solder heat shrink connection to eliminate water ingress etc.

junction box is at the back of the engine bay to the left on the bulkhead.
all the wires to connect your towbar lights to the van lights are in there.
use the haynes wiring diagram to attach the tow bar colours to VW colours.

simple enough just patience needed and some connectors
