How to Connect Magnetic Trailer Lights with 4-Way Connector to RV with 7-Way Connector for Brakes
Question:
RE: Optronics Trailer Lights TL21RK comes with the 4-pole flat connector. I have a round 7-pin connector on the RV that connects to the tow dolly and also incorporates a Primus IQ Brake Controller. Any suggestions on how to mate the flat connector for the magnetic tow lights?

In order to connect the Optroncis Magnetic Tow Lights # TL21RK to the 7-way trailer connector on your RV you would need to cut off the 4-way on the lights and wire them in to the existing 7-way on your tow dolly (If there is one) or add a new 7-way connector # H20046.
You'll need to wire the brake circuit wires on the dolly to the # H20046 as well so the 7-way on the dolly will be fully functioning. If you prefer it might be easier to use a 7-way with a junction box # HS381-9000.
