Trailer Wiring Harness with 4-Way Flat Connector for 1997 Honda Valkyrie
Question:
I have a 1997 Honda Valkyrie with a older Hoppy tail light converter # 310-0041-560. The grounding pin broke off last time I unplugged it. I am now looking to replace it. It provided very dim lighting with standard 1157 light bulbs, so I changed to LEDs, but it was even dimmer than before. Do you have a recommendation of which converter would provide a brighter lighting system for trailer. I do also have side marker lights on trailer. Thanks

Expert Reply:
First, with LED lights, the color of the bulb needs to match the color of the lens. Otherwise you will have dim lights or off-color lights.
If you want you can replace just the 4-Way end on the harness that you have with # HM48190. If you want to replace the whole harness I recommend going with a powered option such as # 119250KIT which will get the power for the trailer lights directly from the battery instead of drawing it through the tail light wiring.
