This kit did the job very well. I could have bought each part separately and saved some money, but I went with the comfort knowing all these parts will work together to accomplish the job. I couldn't figure what LED bulb to use for both brake and turn signal. I routed the wire along the truck wiring harness for half the way to the front, then slipped it into the frame channel for the rest of the way. I used a Curt heavy, round 4 pin plug at the front grill. It was a bit of work and took many hours but came out clean!

I installed this on our 2019 Equinox towed. Love the convenience of just plugging in the towed vehicle. The most difficult part was deciding on what part of the light housing to drill the hole for the light socket.
by: Thomas06/29/2022
Loved the product, easy to install and have showed off many times while we wintered in Texas. I would have loved to take the credit for idea but was happy to let them know where I bought from.

We had one bulb quit working after a few weeks. I called Roadmaster after diagnosing it and since it was so soon after install they sent a replacement. We were on the road when I noticed it failed I stuck an old 1157 bulb in so I was legal. Being a retired mechanic, I know that a certain percentage of new parts are defective and what makes the difference is how the comapny stands behind their products. I couldnt be more impressed with both eTrailer and Roadmaster. It was also nice that the temporary fix so I could continue my trip was easy and inexpensive. After replacing the bulb the upgrade has continued to work without a problem.

I wanted a tail light system that would operate off of my motorhome, but didn't tie into my towed vehicles wiring. This kit did the trick! Led bulbs are super bright! Kit has everything you need for a smooth install.

I have had these lights installed for over a year. I tow a Kia Nero on a tow dolly with my motorhome. Even though the dolly has tail lights, I wanted my car to have tail and brake lights as well. I installed these lights inside the Kia taillight assembly and spliced them into the dolly wiring harness. The lights work great, very bright. The hardest part was figuring out how to install them inside the taillight assembly since they were not made for the Nero. There was no Nero kit available.
by: Gil09/17/2021
The kit should have come with a means to land the wires at the front of the 'toad'. A male connector at the very least.
I should have done more research as the same kit is available in several places for $[XX] as compared to the $[XXX]charged by etrailer.

I bought this item from etrailer and they installed it free at their business. It has worked well. Altho, only one problem. I hooked up today to the motor home, and the turn signal portion on the right side did not work. I am sure it is only a wiring problem. Plan to check it soon. But, would still buy it again. etrailer is a great group of people to work with.

I purchased this taillight option because didn't want to go to the expense of the wiring kit with the diodes, etc. Since I have to disconnect the battery in this vehicle for towing, I needed to use the power from the motorhome trailer plug. I followed the directions and video and the kit was installed as they depicted and it works great. The LED lights are very bright and light up the top half of the taillight assemble which is more than ample.

Great kit. Had to route the wiring in a protective location. Drilling the housing was easy. Good product. Installed a yr ago. No issues. Would buy again.

Easy install just like the tutorial video showed!
I used a step drill from Harbor freight. Allow the bit to do the cutting and it didn't crack my housing.
The hardest part was deciding how to route my cables. Came with enough wire to mount in my GMC Yukon.

I bought separate LED lights for the brakes light and turn signals of the towed car. I also have a braking system attached to the car that will press on the brake of the car. Question - will the car brake light and the led brake light both come on at the same time and is this a problem.?
Thanks for your help

2014 GMC Sierra
Installation was straight forward, and in my situation easy. I have used every system on the market and this system is by far the best if it will fit in your lens. I installed it on a 2014 GMC Sierra which requires the ground cable to be removed when towing, so in my case grounding to the truck was useless - just use the ground from the tow vehicle. Also a 7/8 hole saw works better than the 1" that is called far.

Easy to install and no exposed wiring. Make sure you have room in the back of your tail lights for the socket assembly - I should have checked first because I had not a lot of room to work with but in the end they fit just fine.
