Wiring Harness Installation Instructions for 2008 KIA Rio 5
Question:
Does this come with instructions on how to do the wiring for the lights as well? My friend whom is a mechanic will be installing this on my car and wanted to know if the instructions for the wiring would be included. Thanks

Expert Reply:
The hitch would include installation instructions for the hitch only. Your Rio would need a taillight converter, that would be hardwired into the vehicles taillight circuits. Since the wiring harness is not a vehicle specific item I do not have any instructions specific to your vehicle, but I do have a video that will show how the converter is installed. I will include a link to the video and the taillight converter, which can be found below.
The video will show the converter being installed on a different vehicle than yours, but the installation procedure would be similar.
