Reverse Lights

Question:

I am planning on buying this harness for my 2004 Nissan frontier XE. Will it active Hazard lights when needed and also Reverse lights? I am sure it active brake and turn signals. I am trying to install this harness in order for me to install a tail gate LED Strip light. The LED Strip light has all of the functions mentioned above.

I'll start off by saying that most of the tailgate LED strip lights that I've seen, like the Putco # P92009-60, have a 4 way connector and a separate wire for the reverse light function that must be hardwired into the reverse light circuit on your vehicle. Because the hazard lights are engaged through the turn signals, there is no additional wiring or special harness required. For these reasons, you will be able to install the Tekonsha # 118362 on your 2004 Nissan Frontier to operate your LED strip light.

As I mentioned above, you will need to hard wire in a connection to the reverse light circuits for your LED Strip to engage the reverse light function though. I've linked an installation video of the Putco light, which will likely be similar to the light you're trying to use for you to have a look at as well as a review video of the Tekonsha wiring harness.
