What Converter to Use When Adding 3rd LED Brake Light to Trailer?
Question:
You replied to someone to use tow ready part 118158 to add an led third brake light on a trailer. The person who asked the question said the trailer has led lights and the recommended light was an led. The description of part 118158 says it doesn’t work with led lights. Which is the correct answer. Thank you

To answer your question- no. The Tekonsha # 118158 will not work with LED lights. The Tekonsha Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # 118158 works to separate the functions of 2 wire systems into a 3 wire system that has incandescent lights so that you can add a 3rd brake light that won't get interference from your turn signals .
Since you're only adding the 3rd brake light, I think the better solution is to use the Pacer Performance 3rd Brake Light Module # PP20-702 which will allow you to add a 3rd LED brake light like the # STL80RB to your trailer with a bit less wiring work.
