We do have options in a 50mm hitch ball, both shown on the linked page.

Brophy 8K-rated 50mm hitch ball # EH53C-C has a 1-inch diameter shank; Draw-Tite 3500-lb-rated ball # 63912 has a 3/4-inch diameter shank. Be sure to select one rated with the necessary weight capacity and with the correct shank diameter to fit your ball mount.

We do not have any wiring products for the European standard which maintains many individual light circuits; North American towing standards allow for the combination of stop and turn lights onto a common circuit.
