Will the Curt Powered Wiring Harness # C59496 Support LED Trailer Lights

Question:

I installed the converter this spring and all is well. Question Can I upgrade my trailer tail lights to LED? I do not plan on upgrading the amber side marker lights. Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:

You can certainly upgrade the tail lights on your trailer to LED tail lights. LED tail lights will draw a fraction of the power that incandescent bulbs require which results in less work for the converter of your Curt Powered Wiring Harness, # C59496.

There will not be any compatibility issue between the LED trailer lights and the powered wiring harness on your 2011 Volkswagen TDI.

I have attached a link to all of our LED tail lights for you to check out. If you would like to send me the information about the lights you currently have on your trailer, I would be happy to make a recommendation. The tail light manufacturer and model number should be located on the tail light housing. Otherwise, you can send me the dimensions of the lights and how they mount to the trailer (surface mount, flange mount, recess mount, etc).
