On trailers, the turn signals and brake lights are combined. You could install the Vehicle to Vehicle Taillight Converter, # 118158, but your side marker lights must be dual function lights, like our Optronics Oval LED Turn Signal and Parking Light, # STL78AB. If your current running lights have only one wire, not including a ground wire, to power the light, it is not a dual function light. I have attached a link to all of our dual function amber LED lights for you to check out.
The Vehicle to Vehicle taillight converter will split your combined turn signal and brake light circuit so you can power dual function side marker lights. The yellow wire from the input side of the converter will tee into the left stop/turn signal wire and the green wire from the input side of the converter will tee into the right stop/turn signal wire. The yellow wire on the output side will connect to the left side marker and the green wire to the right side marker. The red wire can be tied off, it will not be used in this situation.
