Do I Need A Tail Light Converter?
Some vehicles operate on a 3-wire system, wherein the brake signal and the turn signals run on separate wires to illuminate different lights. (Typically, these vehicles have amber turn signals.) But most trailers run on a 2-wire system, which means the brake and turn signals travel along a single wire. You'll notice that, on your trailer, the brake light will flash for the turn signals.
If your vehicle operates on a 3-wire system, it will need to be converted so it will be compatible with the wiring system of your trailer. This is where a tail light converter comes into play. This converter lets you combine the brake and turn signal functions of your vehicle so they run on a single wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights.
This particular converter also works with newer types of vehicle wiring, like PWM and multiplex. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is standard on European vehicles, and multiplex systems are common on newer vehicles.
LEDs require less power to generate light than standard halogen bulbs. For vehicles with LED tail lights, a connector like this one may be necessary to send more power through the wiring harness to light the trailer's signals fully.
Powered by your Battery
This converter won't overload or cause damage to your system because it pulls power straight from your vehicle's battery. So you can be sure that your trailer lights will activate no matter what type of bulbs your vehicle has - or your trailer, for that matter.

Powered Tail Light Converter Installation
This kit comes with all the wiring you'll need to convert your vehicle's lighting system to match your trailer's. The powered converter box has splice-in wires on one end and a harness with a 4-way flat vehicle-end connector on the other. It also comes with a power wire that will connect to your battery so your electrical system doesn't get overloaded.
To begin the installation, use the included circuit tester to double-check the function of each wire on your vehicle's tail light wiring harness. The color/function of the splice-in wires on this converter may not match the color/function of those on your vehicle, so you'll want to be sure to check all of the wire functions first. Once you've figured out the functions of your vehicle's wiring, use the included quick-splice connectors to connect the corresponding wires on the trailer connector. Quick-splices, or "wire taps," offer a quick way to make connections without you having to strip and twist wires. Just place the wires in one of the taps and snap the cover down.
Using the included double-sided tape, stick the converter box to a flat surface inside your vehicle near the tail lights. It's helpful to clean the surface first so the tape can adhere fully.
Once the converter box is spliced in, you need to run the power wire up to your battery. Be sure to remove the fuse before connecting anything so you don't blow it! You can put it back in once everything has been installed. To hook up to your battery, you'll need to disconnect the negative cable from your battery and attach the power wire to the positive terminal with the included ring terminal. Finally, secure the converter wires to your vehicle using included cable ties.
Find a raw metal surface to use as a grounding point and secure the white ground wire using the provided ring terminal and a self-tapping screw. Cleaning the surfece before securing the white wire will ensure your converter is fully grounded. Finally, secure the converter wires to your vehicle using included cable ties.
Quick Tips:
- Butt connectors - especially heat-shrink ones - provide the most secure, longest-lasting connection, so we'd recommend you grab a few and swap them out for the quick-splices in this kit.
- Use a circuit tester on the plug terminals once the harness is installed to make sure everything's working. There's nothing worse than figuring out that you have a bad ground or a faulty connection right before you're about to hit the road.
- Be sure to put a little bit of dielectric grease on the 4-way plug to protect the terminals from dirt, grime, and corrosion.

2005 Honda Element
Everything fit perfectly and we (my wife and I) got it all assembled within a couple hours! (We haven't done the wiring yet. That will wait for another day.) Taping the washers to the frame, as was suggested in one review, was most helpful. It was only necessary when attaching the last end, because the bolts had to be pushed all the way back for that end to be put in place.

I tried everything I could think of to make this wiring kit work with my 2010 Honda Insight. It is simply not compatible, although the documentation on Etrailer suggested that it is compatible. Do yourself a favor and buy the more expensive options.

2014 Subaru WRX
2014 WRX wagon at taillight: WHT/RED = Turn signal
BLK/WHTstripe = Running light
BRN = Brake light
I mounted the modulator behind the left turn signal. I routed the power wire through the trunk via rubber access plug. I then fished the power wire under rear seat and stuffed it under plastic trim molding along the doors. I went behind left kick panel and then came out and ran it into the fender well, between the door and the fender, and up a structure tube into the engine compartment. The wire is safe from damage and will not be crushed by shutting the door because of the rubber door seal. I ran my XM ant. wire like this also and there are no negative consequences.

My wife took this picture of my Son and I working on a truck the other day. We were installing electrical connections we had recently ordered from you guys for a truck that has a new hitch on it that also came from you guys. One of your boxes is in the photo. Figured you would appreciate it. I am sitting on the ground with my head up under the truck Good times!

It feels heavy duty and is working exactly as it should. Easy wiring in my 2005 Passat TDI. The most difficult part was bring the 12ga wire from the battery to the rear of the vehicle. The effort was worth it; I have a professional looking install that works perfectly.

2013 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen
The shipping was quick and free however the packing of the shipping box was very poorly executed. An electronic device, a circuit protected trailer light power module and accessories were shipped in a 10x7x5.5" box with no packing materials to keep the contents from being bounced around in the box which base on the visible crushing of the box was bounced around quite a bid during shipping. Any item shipped needs to be packaged to prevent it from free movement in the box. bouncing around in a box is the worst thing for an electronic device. I hope the module has not been damaged. I ordered this to replace a module that experiences intermittent failure in my vehicle apparently from something damaged in the module.

Unit easy to install if you watch the video first and take notes on which light wire in the car goes with the appropriate wire on the module.
Quick shipping with constantly updated tracking information.

The videos are fantastic! Even if we do not have your exact year, make, or model, they will still be helpful. Not all wiring is the same, but on this module the green wire is the passenger turn signal. The yellow wire is driver turn signal. The brown wire is the tail light. The red wire is the stop signal, if you have separate lights from the turn signals. If it is not separate, just ground the red wire. The white wire is a ground and the black wire is ran to the battery positive.

2013 Toyota Prius
I recommend the Tow-Ready 119147KIT instead of the Curt Model for a 2013 Prius. I had to return the Curt Kit because the running lights/tail light stayed on all the time even with the vehicle off. Sometimes there wasn’t a tail/running light on if you reset the converter by removing and re-installing the fuse. This Tow-Ready model works like it should. You'll need 12 gauge wire to run from the battery, (right side hatch area,) to this unit which will need to be mounted on the driver’s side, rear hatch. At the very top of the left rear tail light are covered wires going into a plug. The Blue is the Stop light and the Brown is the tail/running light. (Be careful since these wires are thin solid copper wires.) Left turn signal is the green/yellow stripe wire and on the right side rear lamp the right turn signal is also the green/yellow stripe wire. You will need to remove the left rear panel to get to the blue and brown wires. Remove the bottom tray cover, the bottom tray as well as the left rear plastic tray and the plastic bottom hatch trim over the latch assembly. Remove the Phillips screw on the left rear panel as well as the chrome tie down clamp. This sounds harder than it really is. Good luck!

by: Robert08/12/2022
I haven't installed the hitch or the wiring harness as of yet as I only received everything Thursday in great shape I should add. The wiring looks a little complicated but like I said only yesterday I received it yesterday, but it pretty much looks straight forward.

The installation isnt terribly difficult, its just a matter of using the included circuit tester to determine which of your taillight harness wires provides which function, then making the appropriate connections. Ill link to a typical installation video which should provide you with some direction. The wire color coding on your vehicle would likely be different from what the video shows, but the procedure would be similar.

My RX350 Lexus did not have a towing package, and I used this kit for getting all the trailer lights to work. It took me a little more time to make the electrical connections as I needed to probe individual wires to ensure I was connected to the correct wires. Once completed, everything worked fine and still does. Glad I did it.

Just completed the installation of the 119147KIT on a 2014 Lexus RX350 and it works great. Everything needed was included in the kit and the installation process was fairly easy. As always when I purchase items from e-trailer things fit and the right amount of supplies are included as well as installation instructions. i have always had excellent service from e-trailer and have great confidence in doing business with e-trailer. I know that i will get a great product with support, if needed, and always a follow up e- mail to see if everything was OK.
Great place to shop.

This was installed on a Lexus that does not have the factory tow package. It work just fine and has had no negative effect on the vehicle. Note, I tow a very small utility trailer on short trips and wanted the lights on the trailer to work properly.
by: George08/09/2019
Hitch was a breeze using a lift. Wiring package typically comes as a plug-in. This package you need to solder wires and use wrap. Not an issue but for the price, should be a plug and play. Still give trailer hitch and wiring harness 5. Less than two (2) hours to install on '04 Porsche Cayenne S.

I checked the wiring harness options for your Cayenne, and at this time, there is not a plug in T-style wiring harness option available. This kit does include splice in connectors, but I understand the security of soldering your connection points.

This kit is good, and very complete. It would benefit from some model specific instructions, like the trailer hitches come with. The average person with no automotive background CANNOT install this on a late model car. you need to know how to remove trim panels and components - which is easy with a little instruction!

This particular wiring harness isnt a vehicle specific item, it fits many different vehicles so therefore itd be very difficult to provide vehicle specific instructions for the hundreds of vehicles that it can be used on. There are some installation videos linked above showing the harness being installed on a different vehicle. The actual step-by-step process shown in the videos would be different than the procedure for your particular vehicle, but the method used for testing that determines which taillight circuit controls which function would still be very helpful.

view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Tail Lights That Stay Lit When Running Lights are OnYou are on the right track by checking your connection points and grounds. Even though a white wire is typically associated with the ground that is not always the case. The headlights of your tow vehicle will cause the running light circuit of your trailer to leave the clearance lights on but if your brake lights are on then that is a problem. I would start off by making sure that you have all of the wires installed to the correct function. Since wiring is not required by law to be certain...
