If you only need the basic lighting functions provided by the 4-Way (left/right turn, brake, and running lights) all you will need to do is plug the 4-Way end of the Adapter 4 pole top 6 pole, # A10-6034VP, into your vehicle 4-Way.
The trailer 6-Way will then plug into the 6-Way receptacle on the adapter. You will also need to ground the white wire on the adapter to the vehicle frame at a clean and corrosion free metal surface. The remaining wires (blue for electric brakes and black for 12 volt power) can be taped up and stowed out of the way.
I have included a video of this wiring harness for you to check out as well.
