The Hopkins Active Taillight Converter with Install Kit, # 46255, will work on your 1982 Volkswagen Vanagon but I highly recommend going with the Upgraded Heavy Duty Modulite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness, # C59496. This is the harness that we frequently install on the European vehicles that come into our shop due to the fact that it is a heavy duty wiring harness.

The Upgraded Heavy Duty Modulite Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness, # C59496, with short circuit protection safeguards itself and the tow vehicle against harmful electrical shorts and mis-wire situations and virtually eliminates electrical draw on the vehicle's taillight circuit by powering the trailer's stop, turn, tail and running lights directly from the tow vehicle's battery.
