• Can Brake Light Relay RM-88400 Be Installed on a 2018 Jeep JL Wrangler Unlimited
• The problem with the 2018 Jeep JL Wranglers is that the circuit you need to install the brake light relay # RM-88400 is inaccessible but it isn't required on this vehicle. When your JL Wrangler is set up in flat tow mode (see owner's manual) the brake light circuit is not active. That is why we do not list it for that particular vehicle.

• Correct Trailer Wiring Harness for 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited
• Tekonsha confirms that the correct T-One wiring harness for a 2018 Wrangler Unlimited JL is part # 118786. The # 118416 harness you'd looked at is a fit for the JK model, and wouldn't work with your JL, as 2018 was a split model year for the Wrangler where Jeep produced both the first model year of the JL and the final model year of the JK. I've linked to an installation video for you.
