For some reason the right-hand drive version of the 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited doesn't have the same tail light wiring as left-hand drive models. What you will have to do is plug in wiring harness # 118416 to one side or the other. On the side it is not plugged into use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to locate the wire that carries the turn signal and brake light function. Splice a wire into that wire on the vehicle using a quick splice connector such as # SWC501746-1 and wire # 16-1-1 (sold by the foot) and attach the other end of the wire to the 4-Way.

The yellow wire is left turn signal and brake lights. The green wire is right turn signal and brake lights. Attach the wire that was routed accordingly. You can snip off the wire a few inches back from the 4-Way and use a butt connector such as # DW05714 to attach the newly run wire.
