The only way to bypass a 3-wire to 2-wire trailer wiring harness converter (assuming your vehicle has a 3-wire or separate tail light system) would be to convert your trailer to a 3-wire (or separate) tail light system. This means you will need a separate tail light circuit, brake light circuit, and turn signal circuits on the trailer. You will also need to use either a 5-way, 6-way or 7-way style trailer connector on your trailer and tow vehicle and substitute one of the pins for the additional... view full answer...
The plug you have found is the correct one most likely. We have found that when installing the Hopkins wiring part # HM43215 the trailer wiring plug on the vehicle end can be a few different places depending on the vehicle setup. view full answer...
You are correct about how to install the T-One Vehicle Wiring harness, # 118360, on your 1998 Isuzu Rodeo. The connector on the harness with the yellow wire plugs in line with the driver side tail light wiring behind the tail light. The connector with the green wire does the same on the passenger side.

It sounds like you have a 4-way connection on your vehicle and added a 7-way adapter like the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57672. Plugging your 4-way into this adapter will only give you the same functionality you had before, powering your trailer's signal lights.
