Trailer Wiring Adapter for 2019 Ford F-250 to Provide Lighting for Headache Rack
Question:
I am going mount a headache rack with turn lights, tail ,running and brake. Do you guys have an in-line plug that plugs in to the trailer without abandoning the bumper trailer plug but allows me to splice into the wiring to hook my headache rack lights. I am trying to avoid cutting into the factory wiring harness. Thank you

Helpful Expert Reply:
Usually headache racks that have taillight functions like what you mentioned use a standard 4-way trailer connector to power the lights so your best solution is the part # C55384 which plugs in line with the 7-way you have now and provides a 4-way and harness you can use for the headache rack and also leaves the 7-way totally functional. You'll want a 4-way extension too with part # HM47114.
