Converter Required to Add Additional Brake Lights to 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Question:
Hello, I would like to buy 3 of this harness to accomplish something a bit more advanced. I have a left and right additional brake light in an aftermarket bumper that use 4 pin connections. Can I use two of these left and right to activate those extra brake lights? Then, can I use a 3rd in series after one of the sides to add power to my trailer hitch as the original intended use? Thank you for your help!

I can help you pick out the types of products you'd need to accomplish what you need, but you'll have to find out exact correct way to install everything per you setup.
The best solution is going to be to use a converter like the # 118158 to separate out your vehicle turn taillight wiring so that you have dedicated stop light circuit.
Since you want to add stoplights you'd have to use the wires of this kit to Tee into the wiring of your vehicle so that it can have it's taillights still function like they need to.
If you wanted to use the connectors of the # 118416 this would give you the signals as well without interrupting them.
