Expert Answers about Truck Bed Lights
- Wiring a Truck Bed Converted into a Trailer with Separate Wiring
- The # C55379 Curt harness is going to put a vehicle side trailer connector at the back of your truck bed trailer. So it's not going to plug into the connector at the back of your tow vehicle. Instead use the # TR118821 wiring harness that splices into the truck bed's tail lights. Then add the 2-to-3 converter, part # C56196, like you mentioned with 2 extra diodes, part # RM-792, to separate the circuits so you can use the brake lights and turn signals independently.

- I recommend using the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness # C56070 to tee off your factory 7-way connector on your bumper of your 2013 Ford F-250. This will give you a 7-way connection inside the bed of your F-250. By using this connection you can easily remove your topper and wiring by disconnecting the connector.
To that you can use a Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector # PK12706 to wire in for both the brake light circuit as well as a power circuit for...

- In order to use a new bed on your 2009 Chevy 3500, you need to rewire the truck. There are no current plug-and-play adapters to use for wiring the taillights, turn signals, and backup lights with the new bed.
In order to be equipped with the parts you need, I recommend the 3-Piece Electrician Tool Set # PTW1714. This comes with wire cutters, a voltage reader, and a wire stripper. If you need just a voltage reader, I recommend the LCD Tester # PTW2992.

- The Husky Silver Series # HT31326-32042 does measure 14-1/2 inches from your truck's bed to the top of the hitch head at its lowest setting.
The Curt A16 # C16521 has the same measurement of 17-1/2 inches on its lowest setting.
Industry standard rails are spaced about 20-1/2 inches from side to side and 22 inches from front to back. So it sounds like yours are industry standard.
If you can provide me with the dimensions of your lights and some pictures I'd be happy to find the correct...
view full answer... - Adding an Additional 7-Way to a Silverado with a Camper in the Bed
- The Hopkins # 41157 is a great option. Simply tee this into the US Car Connector directly behind your current 7-Way and bundle the wiring up and out of the way. This will give you a 2nd 7-Way on your Silverado, but keep in mind that if your camper is already pulling power from your 7-Way, adding a trailer could very well overload the wiring. This could either cause the lights to not functions properly or it could cause a fuse to keep blowing.
A review video has been linked for you to reference.

- Actually, the correct part to wire in a truck bed cap's third brake light is the converter # PP20-702. Since your 2019 Ram's turn signals and brake lights run on one circuit this separates them so the light on the cap functions with just the brake lights. Each yellow wire connects to the truck's brake light/turn signal circuits, one on each side, and then the green wire goes to the third brake light. You can use the truck's trailer wiring to find the proper brake and turn signal circuits....

- The 12V auxiliary power feed in a truck 7-way can deliver a trickle or maintenance charge to maintain a battery on the trailer but it cannot deliver enough power to charge a depleted battery or to operate high-power-demand items like heaters. Usually the 12V charging circuit on a truck is protected with a 40-amp auto-reset breaker like # PK54540. The actual trailer lighting circuits on your truck cannot power heaters.
You will want to check the rated power draw from the heating pads to...

- We don't carry any connectors that mate with the one on your canopy; however, you can splice into the wires. Your 2014 Toyota Tacoma has separate lighting already so there's no need for a converter either.
Use a circuit tester, like part # PTW2993, to find the brake light circuit on your truck and connect it to the brake light circuit on your canopy. If your canopy's lights have other functions make the same connections using the correct circuit on your truck as well. If you need extra...

- We have two connector options for your third brake light on your 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 for your Leer Topper.
The first option is Spectro Wiring # 9653P. With this connector you simply cut it in 1/2 then hardwire both your sides and plug them in together.
The second option is the Draw-Tite Universal 4 Pole Adapter # 18032. This is the same basic installation with the exception being that these are individual connections versus the flat connector of the # 9653P.

- The best option we have for you is the 3rd Brake Light Logic Module # PP20-702 which connects to the left and right stop/turn circuits on your 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 and filters out the turn signals so you just have the brake signal for your topper.
I unfortunately don't have a wiring schematic of your truck so I don't know if there is a specific wire anywhere near the back of your truck bed for the CHMSL circuit you're talking about.

- It looks like the Northern Lights 10-2 EX CD SE is 18'-6" long and 8 feet wide, so the Classic Accessories Deluxe PolyPro III Heavy-Duty Truck Bed Camper Cover - 19-11/16' Long # CA80037 is the best choice. This cover will fit even with the AC unit on the roof and the PolyPro III material it's constructed of provides great protection from the elements by wicking moisture away from the camper.

- For the Thule Caprock Platform Truck Bed Rack for Crossbars # TH65YE you can use the LED Light Bar Mounting Brackets for Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack # RR43173.
This bracket kit will install into the T-Tracks on your platform rack and will provide a mounting point for your LED light bar. Since these brackets are not specific to any particular LED light bar you can use any light bar.

- The Opti-Brite LED Dome Light for Refrigerated Trucks and Trailers # OPT38FR will work fine but it may be quite bright at 1,200 Lumens.
Instead, I recommend the Opti-Brite LED RV Dome Light # ILL10CCB, which feature the same dimensions, but only put out 880 Lumens, which will be easier on the eyes.

- Yes, The Pollak 5th Wheel and Gooseneck Trailer Connector Wiring Harness w/ T-Connector # PK11932 will give you a second 7-pole connector in the bed of the trunk. We will not have a 4-plug connector that would be under the truck.
The plug will plug into the OEM harness and requires no splicing.

- In order to tow your Triton boat behind your 2017 Ram 1500 with the Lance 650 on board, you need a Class V hitch like the Curt # C15572 . Once you have the Class V hitch, you need an extender bar similar to the Hitch Extender # HE18 paired with an extended ball mount like the Hidden Hitch 13-1/4" Extended Ball Mount # BH20 in order to get the correct length clearance from the back of your camper.
You'll also want to consider adding a wiring extension like the Hopkins Coiled Adapter 7-Way...

- We offer a custom-fit 4-pole wiring harness from Tekonsha that fits your 2003 Toyota Tacoma. Part # 118379 installs easily with plug-in connectors that install at your tail light wiring and one single ground wire that gets attached to the vehicle sheet metal, as shown in the linked video. Since this harness connects between your taillights and their wiring it should not affect your existing spliced connection, but if you wish you can use the red wire for a brake light signal for the 3rd...

- In order to install your 3-function lights on your 1997 Dodge Ram 3500 that has combined stop/turn wiring you will need a vehicle-to-vehicle taillight converter, part # 118158 from Tow Ready. This converter separates the combined stop/turn functions into separate signals that run on separate wires. This converter will work only on incandescent lights, but not with LEDs.
Your vehicle running/tail light wire will bypass the converter and go directly to the wire on your lights that operates...
