Adapter to Go From 4-Way Vehicle Connector to European 13 Pin
Question:
I need an adapter to be able to connect the 4 -way connector to a European standard connector. What do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
Unfortunately we do not have an adapter to go from a European 13-way trailer connector to a U.S. style 4-way vehicle connector. European trailers typically have separate brake light and turn signal circuits, but U.S. trailers use a combined wiring system that use one wire for the turn signals and brake lights.
You could make an adapter using a universal 4-way flat tail light converter like part # 119130, but you would need to find a European trailer side 13-way connector that can be rewired. Simply connect the blunt cut wires from the Curt Converter # C56175 to the corresponding pins on the 13-way connector. The functions of the wires from the Tow Ready converter are listed below.
Red Wire - Brake Lights
Yellow Wire - Left Turn Signal
Green Wire - Right Turn Signal
Brown Wire - Tail Lights/Running Lights
White Wire - Ground
