The diodes in this kit convert the 12V signal from your RV to a 9V signal, ensuring that your car's variable voltage tail lights function as intended. 4-Wire harness included for installation. Adapter cord and plug sold separately.

Specs:
This smart diode wiring kit lets you connect your RV's tail, brake, and turn signal lights to your towed car's lighting system so that you'll have the signal lights necessary for flat towing your vehicle.
Because your vehicle has variable voltage tail lights, you cannot use a standard diode wiring kit to get these signal lights. If regular diodes are used on a vehicle that has variable voltage tail lights, the bulbs will light up as though the towed car is braking whenever the tail lights are on. In other words, there will be no difference between the vehicle's brake lights and running lights. This is because variable voltage tail lights use the same wire to power both the brake lights and tail lights. They do this by using a 12-volt signal for brake lights and a 9-volt signal for tail lights.
Smart diodes correctly modulate the 12-volt signal coming from your RV to activate only the intended circuit. The result is that your vehicle's tail lights look and function as intended.
This wiring kit is designed to work with LED lights only. If your vehicle has incandescent lights, you'll need to use the smart diode kit designed for incandescent tail lights (RO94FR - sold separately) instead.
When installing this kit, you will need to add either a 4-way or 6-way round electrical connector to the front of your vehicle so you can connect to your RV when you're ready to tow. Use one of Roadmaster's coiled cable kits (RM-164-7 or RM-146-7 - sold separately) to get both the connector and the adapter cord needed for fast, easy hookup.
If your RV has separate tail light wiring, wherein the brake and turn signals run on separate wires, you'll need a wiring converter (RM-732 - sold separately) to complete this installation.

The wiring kit had excellent directions & video which made the install a breeze. It would be even better if it lighted more of the tail lights and brake lights. Most likely it is because of my vehicle design. We did a 7700 mile trip with no issues and worked as expected. I would recommend this item.
I ordered this back in June but had not opened the package until today when a friend was here to assist me with installing it. Unfortunately, it was missing the Insta-dapt Adapter and the hose clamps. I am sure I can use regular hose clamps but definitely need Instadapt Adapter. Would you please send that to me
Braking system worked great on my Jeep. We towed the vehicle on a 6000 mile journey this year. We were up and more importantly, down the Rocky Mountains and the braking system never failed us. Would definitely recommend.
A complicated setup for the newer 4-wire tail light systems made easy with the online video featuring the make/model that I was wiring. Thank you.
Easy ordering and fast shipping
Had everything I needed
No hassle with installation. Just follow the instructions and all will work out.
Works perfectly. Great product and sup port
Nice kit you have great videos on installing. Works great. Road master has great products and ETrailer has great prices and service.
Good kit and etrailer installation video was fantastic. Install went well and was happy to have a helper when dealing with removal/reassembly of body parts.
On complaint that is directed at Roadmaster. They need to use some more appropriate self-tapping screws for taillight area. Metal is thin and self-tapping screws included are large and course threaded. The provided screws would not tighten up properly. I ended up needing to substitute some screws from my parts bin to get a good connection.
High quality. Received fast.
I have been working with etrailer for years and have always been pleased with their website and service.
Great service, and very helpful in deciding what was needed.
Haven’t installed yet but purchase and delivery were great

No problems after one year. Would recommend for Jeep owners with factory LEDs.
