4-Way Wiring Recommendation for a 2012 and 2014 Ford F150 for LED Lightbars

Question

Question:

I was wondering if you had a splitter for trailer wire harness. I have an LED light tailgate light bar that I want to install but want to wire it in from behind bumper so the connection is not in front and dont have to be removing every time I hook up a trailer. I have a 2012 F150 FX4 and a 2014 F150 XLT both with tow package 7 pin and 4 pin

What you could do is install a Curt wiring harness part # C55384. This will plug inline with the 7-way at the rear of your trucks and will provide you with an additional 4-way that you could route behind your bumper for your light bar.
