Recommended Load Resistor Adapter for LED Lights
Question:
Hi, I have a Mercedes Benz 2010 GL-class vehicle. I need your LED load adaptor kits - however I had a flat 7 pin connector on the back of my car and trailer. Do you sell these kits in the flat 7 pin configuration? Many thanks.

It sounds like you are looking for a 7-way adapter with the integrated load resistors. We do have that adapter...it is the Trailer Connector Adapter w/ Lamp-Out Sensor Bypass - 7-Way RV to 7-Way RV - Vehicle End # 20142. This works great for trailers with LED lights. I assume the 7 flat is the blade style and not the European 7 flat which we don't have the adapter for.
It is the route to go before using individual function resistors like the LED Light Bulb Load-Resistor # DI34ZR which are the alternative. If you have the 7 flat layout like the f-way flat # HM47900 then you would need to use these.
