Choosing The Right Converter

Written by hitchweb Team on October 5th, 2011 — 0 Comments

Not sure when you need a tailight converter? A tailight converter is required when the towing vehicle has seperate wires for brake lights and turn signals. The diagram below will help you choose the right converter. *

How to choose the correct converter

 

Ever wondered how to differentiate a Two Wire and Three Wire System?

You will have 5 wires on your vehicle side.

GREEN-Right Turn

RED-Brake Signal

YELLOW-Left Turn

BROWN- Running Lights

WHITE-Ground

 

2 Wire Systems: Only use the combined Left and Right turn signals. The Brake signal and Turn signal are on the same wire.

3 Wire Systems: Only use the Right Turn signal, Brake signal, and Left Turn signal. You do not sue the Brown or White wire.
