Expert Answers about Saturn Vehicle Lights


  • Can Tow Ready Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter 118158 Power LED Lights on Trailer
  • Tow Ready Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # 118158 cannot be used with a vehicle that has LED lights because these vehicles' wiring is too light and the power sent to the LED lights is too low to properly operate the converter. It requires the higher strength signals from a vehicle that uses standard more-power-hungry incandescent lights, whose wiring is heavier and whose signals are stronger. If connected to a LED-equipped vehicle the signals from that vehicle would not be strong...

  • Does the Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter Work with LED Lights
  • Vehicle to vehicle converter # 118158 works if the TOW vehicle has regular lights and the dinghy (vehicle being towed) has LED lights. So basically the input source has to be 12 volt incandescent lights. I have linked a demo video for you.

  • Can a 2007 Cadillac DTS with LED Tail Lights Tow a Trailer with Incandescent Lights
  • You can tow a trailer with incandescent lights to a vehicle with LED lights. There are only issues on some vehicles when towing a trailer that has LED lights. What allows you to use a T-connector type of wiring harness like # 118535 on a vehicle with LED tail lights like your 2007 Cadillac DTS is a powered converter. A powered converter gets power for the trailer lights directly from the vehicle battery. It receives the signals from the connections to the tail lights but the vast majority...

  • If Vehicle Headlights are Set to Auto Will It Light Up the Trailer Lights
  • As long as the auto mode for the vehicle headlights energizes the same running light circuit that is used by the tow package wiring running light circuit, then yes, it will work. To check if this is the case you will need to set the vehicle lights to auto, probably at night so the head lights come on, and then use a circuit tester such as # 40376 to test the vehicle side trailer connector to see if the running light pin is energized.

  • Will the Tow Ready Wiring Harness for a 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander Work with LED Tail Lights
  • The Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118518, for the 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander is a powered converter. It draws power for the trailer lights from the vehicle battery and not from the tail lights. This harness connects to some pre-wired components on the vehicle which does not affect the tail lights on the vehicle so it will not produce excessive draw on vehicle LED tail lights and it will work fine if the trailer has LED, or incandescent tail lights. I have included a link to the...

  • Will Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # 118158 Work to Power a 3rd LED Brake Light
  • You can use the vehicle to vehicle tail light converter # 118158 to power a third brake light whether it be LED or incandescent. The input green wire will connect to the combined right turn/brake light circuit and the yellow wire will connect to the combined left turn/brake light circuit. White gets grounded to the vehicle or trailer frame. On the output side if you just need the brake circuit it is the red wire. The green and yellow output wires can be capped off and stowed out of the way.

  • Does The Vehicle Wiring LED/non-LED Option For 2022 Kia Soul Reflect The Trailer Or Vehicle Lights?
  • It is in reference to the vehicle tail lights on your 2022 Kia Soul. The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118813 is for models with incandescent tail lights. We have the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C89KR which will fit models with LED or incandescent tail lights.

  • Vehicle-to-Vehicle Tail Light Converter for Use with LED Lights
  • The Tow Ready Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # 118158 cannot be used with a motorhome or towed car that has LED lights since it is intended to receive and to output the higher power from standard incandescent light wiring. LEDs are very efficient and operate on much less power so their wiring is also lighter. The lower-power signals will not always allow normal operation. Some combinations of MH and vehicle may work if you install load resistors like # DI34ZR but the better option...

  • Could the Ram LED Lighted Vehicle Emblem # RP86619 Be Installed on Front of Vehicle
  • There is potentially a way to install the Ram LED Lighted Vehicle Emblem # RP86619 on the front of your vehicle so that you could wire it up to come on with the running lights. But in most areas it is illegal to have any red or blue lights on the front of the vehicle as that is commonly seen on emergency vehicles so you would need to check with your local DOT to find out for sure.

  • Can Tow Ready Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter 118158 Power LED Lights
  • Tow Ready Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # 118158 will not work when fed input signals from a vehicle that has LED lights (because the wiring for such high-efficiency lights will not deliver enough power) but it can connect to LED lights on the output side. This converter will separate out the stop light signal from the combined stop/turn signals in standard trailer wiring. This converter will allow you to have separate left and right turn, stop and tail light signals to feed to...

  • Are Test Lights Always on For Curt Adapter 4 Way to 7-Blade With Test Lamps
  • That's a good question, and when installed correctly, the lights will be on when the vehicle's circuit is functioning properly for the Adapter 4 Way to 7-Blade RV Connector w/Test Lamps # C96KR. The test light does NOT indicate there is any issue with a trailer bulb, just that the vehicle wiring is complete and accurate. So the # C96KR does not give you a status regarding your trailer, just the vehicle.

  • Does Fusion GloLight Tail Light part # OPT64WR Require Resistor
  • Since the Fusion GloLight Tail Light part # OPT64WR is designed to be a trailer light and not a vehicle light it does not have any resistors integrated into it. Trailer wiring does not require this because the signal comes from the vehicle wiring which already has the flasher unit functioning. If the light was to be installed on a vehicle in place of a blinker circuit a resistor would be needed or a digital flasher installed on the vehicle instead of a thermal unit. The proper resistor...

  • Will I Need any Additional Wiring Or Adapters When Changing to LED Trailer Tail Lights?
  • The LED Trailer Tail Light w/ Flange # STL73RB will mount in place of your non-LED trailer tail lights. There are no other parts needed as the tail lights on your tow vehicle will control the flash rate. The lights will work with your older truck just like newer vehicles. The only exception is some Mercedes, Audi and other vehicles which have trailer lamp detectors built in which would confuse LED lights with a bulb being out. Those vehicles would need a Lamp-Out Sensor Bypass Adapter # 20142.

  • Recommended 4-Way Vehicle Wiring Harness for a 2016 Dodge Journey with LED or incandescent lighting
  • The Curt T-Connector vehicle wiring harness # C56109 does not require a powered converter because it is designed for vehicles that have incandescent lights. Traditional incandescent bulbs draw much more power than modern LED lights, so they can handle the additional load from trailer lights. Vehicles with LED lights draw less power than those with incandescent lights. Factory installed LED wiring is not designed to handle the larger loads that will occur after hooking up your trailer...

  • Will Supplemental Braking System and Tow Bar Wiring from RV Overload Brake Lights on Toyota Tacoma
  • Both a brake light signal from the motor home and the brake signal from the vehicle are 12 volt systems. If both are supplying power at the same time to the same circuit it would not overload it because it would not double up the power to 24 volts. You may need a brake light relay # RM-88400 to keep the Tacoma brake signal from overriding the turn signal sent by your RV. The relay is needed on towed cars with combined lighting if you are using a supplemental braking system. Combined lighting...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for 2010 Mazda 3 Without LED Lights But Trailer Does
  • You are correct that the wiring harness designation has to do with the vehicle lighting and not the trailer lighting. This has to do with the source power coming into the converter. Since you don't have LED's in your 2010 Mazda 3, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118420. This will connect perfectly with your car and will not have issue with a trailer that uses LED lights. I've attached a video of this installation to assist.

  • Only 2 Diodes Light Up on 10 Diode LED Lights
  • Checking all of the grounds like you have already done is the first step, including the main ground on the trailer and the vehicle's trailer connector ground. It is a good idea to check all of the trailer wiring for any damaged or frayed wiring because there may be a short in the wiring. I would ground the taillights to a trailer battery and touch the wires to the positive post to see if each light illuminates properly. You also want to make sure the connector on the trailer side and vehicle...

  • Is Roadmaster Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 Needed When Flat Towing a 2013 Ford Fiesta
  • The battery needs to be disconnected when flat towing a 2013 Ford Fiesta with the automatic transmission because the transmission is shifted electrically. If the battery is left connected it could shift the transmission into the wrong gears when being flat towed and damage the transmission. The manual transmission of the Fiesta does not require disconnecting the battery. The diode kit like the Roadmaster Diode Wiring Kit, part # RM-154, is used to connect your lighting on your RV to the...

  • Lights For Motorcycle Carrier That Blocks Vehicle Tail Lights
  • If you're asking if this light # UL97CPG can light up your carrier so that vehicles behind you know how much clearance they have, then yes! But please note that this is an identification light and just shines a clearance light and will not mimic your van's tail lights. If you want lights that match your van's turning and brake signals, you're looking for something like Optronics LED Combination Trailer Tail Lights # TLL160RK.
