Wire your vehicle and get the signal lights required for flat towing without having to splice into your wiring with this custom, plug-in harness. Integrated diodes prevent feedback from RV for safe operation.
Features:
Wiring your car for flat towing has never been easier. No more testing wires or splicing into your electrical system. No need to painstakingly position multiple diodes beneath your vehicle. No worries about voiding your warranty. With this custom-fit towed vehicle wiring kit from Hopkins, all you have to do is plug the harness into your vehicle's existing wiring, which is located behind your car's tail light assemblies. No cutting, tapping, or splicing is required.
After plugging in the wiring harness, use the included bracket to mount the 4-way flat connector at the front of your towed car. An extension loop (sold separately) is required to connect your towed car to your RV.
Because your vehicle has a combined lighting system - wherein the brake signals and the turn signals are carried on a single wire - a brake light relay (RM-88400 - sold separately) may be required if you use a supplemental braking system with your towing setup. A supplemental braking system depresses the brake pedal in your towed car every time you apply the brakes in your RV. So, if your towed car's brake lights illuminate when the brake pedal is pressed and the engine is off - as is the case when towing - then you need to install a relay to ensure that the lights on your towed car always act in accordance with the signals sent by your RV via the wiring harness. Without a relay, the brake signal from your towed car will override the turn signal sent by your RV when you slow down to make turns, creating a potential hazard.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Hopkins custom taillight wiring kit for towed vehicles. Now this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2021 and newer Ford F150, F150 Hybrid, and the F150 Raptor trucks. And on a custom fit part like this, I do like to recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year, model, vehicle, and it'll show if this will work for your application. Now this kit here will let you wire your vehicle to accept your RV's tail brake and turn signal lights for flat towing.
As you can see right here, provides the four-way flat plug at the front of the tow car to connect to your motor home. Does have a length of white wire with an eyelet on it that'll connect to a nearby ground. Basically right here, it'll plug in quickly and easily. There's no cutting or splicing of wires. The connection points are located under the hood on the driver's side inner front fender.
This kit does prevent electrical feedback to safeguard your towed car's electrical system. Has this weatherproof box here, helps keeps the built-in diodes protected. Also, this won't interfere with your electrical system when the towed car is not hooked up to the RV. As we've mentioned, it's custom designed for your vehicle. It does include everything laid out here on the table.
The wiring harness with the four-way, the four-way mounting bracket, and the hardware, four-way dust cover, some terminal grease, and some extra cable ties to take up any slack in the wiring. Now a brake light relay may be required if you're using this with a supplemental braking system. That brake light relay we do sell separately, goes by a part number of RM-88400. But that should do it for the review on this Hopkins custom taillight wiring kit for towed vehicles.
