Since the Wesbar 4-Pole Flat Connector w/ Jacketed Cable # W787274 is 14 feet long and you need 13 feet to get to the taillights on each side of the trailer you'd have enough wire for each color aside from the brown wire. You'd want to run it to one side of the vehicle and then use a jumper wire like part # 12-1-1 to get the circuit to the other side.

The # 12-1-1 is sold by the foot.
