WHY I BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT.

FIRST I NEED TO GO FROM A WIRE HARNESS THAT RUNS BACK UP LIGHTS, STOP LIGHTS, TURN LIGHTS, AND CLEARANCE LIGHTS.ALL SEPARATE SIGNAL CIRCUITS FROM THE TOW VEHICLETO POWER CLEARANCE AND COMBINATION STOP AND DIRECTIONAL LIGHT BULBS. A 4 WIRE SYSTEM, YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME LOGIC CONVERSION.THE DIRECTIONALS MUST BLINK THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON ONE SIDE WITHOUT AFFECTING THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE OTHER. THAT IS THE CNALLENGE THIS DEVICE SOLVES.THIS THING ACTUALLY WORKS AND WAS REALLY EASY TO INSTALL. YOU CAN DESIGN AND MAKE ONE OF THESE BUT THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN MAKE ONE AT TEN TIMES THE COST OF DOING IT YOURSELF. THIS IS POTTED, CHEAP, EFFECTIVE, AND ABOVE ALL SIMPLE TO USE.THE HARDEST DECISION WAS TO REALIZE THAT YOU MUST PUT IT BETWEEN THE CABLE ON THE TOW VEHICLE AND THE CONNECTOR LEAVING THE VEHICLE.IN MY CASE I CHOSE THE AMAZON SAME BRAND 4 WIRE ROUND TRAILER CONNECTOR. THIS IS NOT SIMPLE AS THERE IS SHEET METAL BETWEEN THE TWO DEVICES CONNECTED BY FOUR WIRES IF YOUR TRAILER CONNECTOR IS BODY MOUNTED. CONVERTER TO WIRE--- THROUGH BODY METAL--- TO CONNECTOR THAT IS LATER BOLTED DOWN FROM THE OUTSIDE.SEQUENCE IS WRITTEN IN STONE. NOTICE THE WORD 'LATER'.

Installed this in a 'tucked away' location at the rear of the 89 Toyota Pickup. Works well.

I have read that these things do not last long, but even if that is true, it costs less than $20 and it's easy to install; works well. Solved a HUGE problem with a utility trailer lighting 'issue'; specifically Toyota five wire to a utility trailer with four wires. It simply works just like it says it should and it is very simple to install. I used a few larger cable ties to secure it to the frame, it's not going anywhere.

An essential device, an excellent value!

The converter has no installation instructions as the manufacturer assumes you either know how to install it or you're resourceful enough to research the matter online...but it does have a guide which tells what colors the wires go to in your vehicle. Also, it does not come with any automotive wire taps, which can be bought at any auto parts store for a fair price.What does this converter do? Let's say you have a vehicle that has separate bulbs for brakes and turn signals...most trailers have lights which use the same bulb for both brake and turn signals. This converter lets you electronically integrate both different systems harmoniously to work well. It's the best thing to do, as I've seen some who ignore that matter and their trailer lights do not work out well when it's not done right. This is a must-have device to have if your tow vehicle has separate brakes and turn signals.Once installed, just troubleshoot & verify function with either your trailer or an LED trailer light tester which plugs into your vehicle's trailer plug. It's very small and even fits on a keychain, available online or many auto parts stores. Then...tow away, knowing you're towing safe as far as lighting goes. So don't skimp...buy this if you plan on towing. You don't need this if your vehicle uses the same bulb for both turn signals & brakes...just buy a straight-wire towing plug.

Plug and play are easier, but works well.

Better Than Most

This is a well built product. Highly recommended. The wires are of sufficient gage, and they are long enough to connect to the vehicle harness. The instructions are good, and everything worked first try. Note that there are some very poorly made trailer wire harness products out there - this is a good one.

Easy install on a 2010 Subaru Impreza 2.5i

Installed one of these on a 2004 civic a few years ago and it still works great. Installed this one on a 2010 Subaru Impreza 2.5i, which was much easier. Tail lights come off easy and there is plenty of slack in the wiring on the light side of the harness connector. Using add on splice connectors is no problem.On left light hooked up left turn, brake and ground (have a self tapping metal screw handy to hook up the ground). On the car the brake wire is RED, Left turn is white with black stripe.On right light hooked up right turn and running light wires. On the car the right turn is white with black stripe. Running light is green. Look where the wires are going to on the light unit and it's pretty easy to figure out.The wires can go right down into the bumper cover from the tail light compartments and down to the hitch where I zip-tied the plug to the hitch frame. Easy peasy.
