Thank you for all of the information!

For your 2020 Jeep Gladiator I recommend using the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 and then for your 2022 Chevy Equinox with LED lights I recommend the Roadmaster Universal Wiring Kit # RO44FR and 6-Wire Trailer Connector # RM-910030-7.

The Jeep doesn't require special diodes so you can use the standard wiring kit and then pair up the umbilical with the special wiring and connector needed for the LEDs on your Chevy.

I've attached installation videos for the wiring kits on both vehicles for you to check out.
