The issue is that semi trucks have the stop lights separate from the turn signals and standard trailer wiring like what the Hopkins Magnetic Tow Lights part # C6304 has these two circuits are on the same wire. So you'd have to wire in a signal converter like the Roadmaster # RM-732 so that the two circuits would be on same wire.
