No, not confusing, I'm doing OK if you are. It is quite OK to ask more questions.

So you have some choices here. The aftermarket lighted cig lighter in your truck was not completely hooked up yet, and there is a red wire for it that has not been used yet. There is probably the factory red wire that is not plugged onto the post of the cig lighter that is probably stuffed up there somewhere behind the dash. You can use that one, or you can use the new red wire. I can't tell if the new red wire has a piggy back connector on it. If it does not, and the 12 gauge orange wire for the high speed relay also does not have a piggy back connector on it, you can plug those things into 2 separate positions on the fuse panel. The choices of places to plug stuff in are shown in the fuse panel picture, CIG is unfused always hot, IGN UNFUSED is hot in the key on position and is also unfused, and GL BOX is always on and fused usually with a 15 A fuse but if you plug something in it that draws a lot of power you may need to use a 20 A or 25 A fuse in the GL BOX position.
