What I really like about this wiring harness is it's drawing power from the battery instead of directly from the taillights.Some of your wiring harnesses that are out there, they'll plug directly into your taillights. Then your four pole's going to run directly down. And it's drawing power from the lights or from the wiring on your vehicle. more

This four pole connector is going to provide you with all your necessary trailer lighting, which includes your left turn, your right turn, tail lamps and brake lamp signals. This harness plugs inline with your existing tail lamp assemblies. The control box receives a fused power supply from the battery, so the lights going to your trailer aren't feeding off of your tail lamp circuits, but they have their own dedicated power circuit. This is great, because if you have a fault on your trailer that causes a short, or the fuse to open, it won't affect the tail lighting on your vehicle, just the fuse for the control box. Attached is a dust cap to help keep out dirt and debris, and it can also be used to help store it when not in use. more

To begin our installation we're gonna need to open up our rear hatch, so we can get access to our taillights so we can pull them out.
