Option for Connecting Magnetic Tow Lights with 4-Way Round to 4-Way Flat

Question:

I have a set of magnetic trailer lights that I want to use to swap around boat trailers. The magnetic lights have a 4 pin round connectorfemale, but my truck only accepts a 4 pin flat male and I think a 7 pin round male. These exact lights in question: 337TL257M Is there an adapter with a 4 pin round male to 4 pin flat male?

Since there's only one type of adapter that would work for your situation and it's probably not totally ideal it's most likely your best option to replace the 4-way round of the light kit with a 4-way flat like with the part # HM38134.

The only adapter option is something like the # RM-98164-7 which is longer than you'd need and probably more money that you'd want to spend.

Using the # HM38134 to replace the 4-way round will be the easiest and best option. The 4-way round connector is not very common so converting it to a 4-way flat will make the kit much easier to use for your current vehicle as well as future vehicles.

For butt connectors then you'd want the part # DW05744-10 for a set of 10.
