• Troubleshooting New Tail Light Not Working on Trailer
  If your new tail light isn't working on your trailer you will just want to make sure you have it wired correctly with a secure ground. I am not sure what type of tail light assembly you installed but you will need to make sure that its power wire is connected to the running light wire on the trailer. A lot of lights will have a separate wire for ground (usually white) but many simply ground through their mounting hardware. In either case you will need to make sure it is connected to a...

  Depends on the amperage draw of your trailer running lights and what the license plate light circuit or running light circuit of your 2009 Honda Pilot is rated for.

  We do not have access to a wiring harness diagram for your 2016 Mercedes Benz GLE 350.

• Powered Tail Light Converter for a 2008 BMW X3 and Trailer with Separate Brake and Turn Lights
  The # 119177KIT could be used on your 2008 BMW X3. However, in addition to the 5 wire converter, you will need another converter, # 118158. The reason is the 5 wire converter will combine the brake and turn signals. Since your trailer has separate turn and brake lights, the second converter is needed. The running light circuit will bypass the second converter. Only the ground, right turn/brake and left turn/brake will going into the converter. What I would do is cut off the 5-Way connector...
