Taillight Converter Recommend for Converting Separate Circuit to Combined for Sequential Taillights

Question

Question:

I make tail light conversions and I have a lot of customers who want sequential tail lights. I was told that since the taillights that I convert have two brake bulbs and one turn bulb that I need a trailer converter to make combine all the circuits. Can you help me? The bulbs use 1157 connectors.

If the taillight assembly you are trying to combine all the circuits on has a separate turn signal bulb all you would need to do is wire all of the bulbs to the same circuits and then use a signal converter like part # RM-732 to combine the taillight circuits on the vehicle/trailer.

The input side of this converter would get run to the separate circuits on the trailer/vehicle and the output side of the converter would get run to the taillights that are getting converted to being sequential.

Either way is correct. It depends on if you want to keep the semi-style 7-Way (if you need to tow that type of trailer) or if you will never be towing a semi-trailer. If you need to keep the 7-Way semi active on the truck, then you would need to make…
