Connecting Boat Trailer Lights Behind 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited During Flat Tow

Question:

I have a 2015 Jeep Wrangler unlimited. I have installed a Hopkins 56200 wiring kit. I pull the Jeep behind my pickup and the wiring works great. Can I install a Curt C55124 T-connector wiring kit on the Jeep so I can pull a boat with the jeep and all of the lights work? If not what do you recommend I use.

As long as the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C55124 is installed after the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # HM56200 it should cause the lights to work on your boat trailer. Do understand that the Hopkins was not designed for tandem towing so there is a chance you could have some power supply issues with the extra demand from the lights on the boat trailer. You might consider using a set of wireless lights like the Custer # LIW-AGKIT-SG since they don't have a limited range like other light kits. These lights have a transmission distance of over 1,000' so there is no worry about the signal not making it past the Jeep or boat trailer.
