7-Way to 4-Way Adapter for a 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan
Question:
Hello, I have a 2017 VW Tiguan and was wondering if this part would work and if you have to use LED lights or regular lights?

Expert Reply:
As far as using the Adapter 7 Pole to 4 Pole # 47345 as an adapter then you would not have a problem using it with your 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan unless the trailer has LED lights. Because LED lights use such little power it can cause a bulb out error to appear and the lights on the trailer may not work. You would instead use adapter # C35FR to avoid that issue.
If you have adapter # 47345 plugged in without a trailer then it is possible the LED indicators on it will not work for the same reason described above. They should work fine though if the trailer has incandescent lights.
