How do you wire the trailer taillights and running lights with this converter? Bypass the converter?

Correct. Converter is for converting stop and turn lights only. Works perfect.

The trailer plug wires into the converter, then from the converter to the lights.

I'm not sure on a trailer, as I wired my motor home to use a 3-LED light which included RED running lights, RED stop light and a AMBER turn signal. The motor home of course had a 2-wire standard wiring, which is why I used this converter, and it worked great. Hope this helped.

This device is used to connect a vehicle with the Brake and turn signal together to a vehicle that has the brake and turn signals separate. That is separate bulbs on the towed vehicle.
1097565
Yes. The tail/running (and back up, if equipped) lights are wired independent of the converter.

You're welcom.Also, if it helps any. I put the converter on the trailer and wired it there, instead of on the tow vehicle. That way there is no change to the plug on the truck and I didn't have to add any additional connections between truck and trailer.

I used the light kit on a gas cart. They need to run with 12v, will need a power converter to bring the wiring down to 12v. They are about $30 on Amazon.

as long as you have a flat 4 prong trailer plug in, if not you'll need an adapter to the round plug. Also, so you know now you will need to splice the reverse wire for the bar with your reverse lights wire. Use a quick splice

If you have independent tail lights and stop lights it will work. Remember to hook the red wire coming from the converter to the brown tail light wire. This connection energizes the converter which acts as your turn signal device,

If you are using these for turn signals, you will need to add resistors, however, they can be spliced directly inline for running lights. They are two wire lights without a plug, so they are simple to wire.

To do what you're asking will require a Converter from Black Magic Design. Hope this helps!

Doesn't matter how you wire them since the driver circuitry has an inverter bridge. They can run on 12V AC or DC. I believe the wires are black and red so following convention I wired black to negative and red to positive.

We just direct wired it into the 12 volt system and eliminated the power box converter. Just cut the wire off the box and direct wired it into a FUSED CONNECTION. Make sure you fuse protect it. Try 10-15 amps if that doesn't hold then go to 20 amps. Mine works just fine. Powers right up and finds the birds in less than 3-4 minutes. Much better that that Tailgater mess

You must remove the ballast and wire the hot and neutral directly to one of the sockets. The other end gets the wires removed.

Find a 12v source I hooked it up to my night time head lights so they would come on automaticity. black(ground) wire to black wire that goes to your headlights and red (positive) goes to positive wire running to your head lights usually red but it can be any color. Just slice the wire open and use electrical tap to protect it. Good luck!

Wiring harness was simple. It would stretch to the rear tail light. Unplug tail light from jeep harness, plug new trailer wiring into jeep harness then plug tail light into trailer harness. Took 5 minutes.

I didn't get a switch or wire with my single 4" square. But then again I mounted it under the back and wired it directly into my trailer plug as a reverse light. Hope this helped.

wire one power supply to both ends 12v DC or 24vac works great / output switch can be NO or NC just move jumper / unit is aligned when LED is lit on receiver. The one with 2 wires is lamp and 4 wires is receiver / if near a window or slider signal may bounce off glass, A tube or tape may help to limit beam. Have fun : )

Installation is easy. Turn it over, and see the labels for 48v and 12v. Hook the leads to the appropriate places - i.e. the 48v to the golf cart battery array, and the 12v to whatever you're attempting to power (like the lights).

Yes. The wire harness supplies vehicle's power to trailer lights (and breaks if your trailer has them--i.e. campers). Working tail lights on trailers are required.

don't think so. I have a 7 pin male recepticle on my vehicle. This converter has a 7 pin female recepticle that plugs into the vehicle. I then plug the 4 pin flat male connector on my trailer into the 7 pin to 4 pin converter to run my trailer lights. The converter I have works great.

no you don't ,i would go online and see if you can bring up the instruction booklet or even go to u tube and i remember a couple videos of people wiring them in. all i remember is it was easier than i hoped for and i am not good with electricity!
