Our wiring is going to come with a dust cap which will work to hook onto your safety chain loop if you don't have a bracket. Our wiring is also going to have this loom so it's going to help protect the wires and keep those bright colors down on the back of your truck.To begin our installation, we're going to come to the back bumperof our Silverado, and right next to our license plate on the driver side we're going to have this plug. more

It is going to give us a seven way RV style connector, so we're going to have all of our lighting functions, 12 volt power, and our trailer brake controller ready for us. And at the same time it is going to give us a 4 pole flat trailer connector, which is going to give us all of our lighting functions, if our trailer doesn't have brakes.Now this is going to be a direct replacement for the factory plug that comes in the bumper. If your Silverado doesn't have that plug, or if you don't want to mount it there, our kit is going to come with a bracket so we can mount it somewhere else like the bottom of our hitch or the bottom of our bumper. And on the outside, it is going to have a legend letting us know which pin is going to do what, which is going to make testing our lights and all the functions really easy. And you just figure out which pin we need to check and it's also going to be on the 4 pole as well.Our connector's going to have a spring loaded cover so it's going to automatically close when we disconnect. more
