Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs
Yet another good product/service provided by etrailer.com. Even if they are a bit more on their price I generally use etrailer.com because of their excellent service. Top notch company. This Wiring Kit went in just as advertised. Of course it took me longer than I expected but that is normal for me. I work slow but my result is always a first class install! :-)
Installation was straightforward and fairly simple. The hardest part was finding a routing for the wire to stay away from moving parts. That will be different for each vehicle.

Roadmaster 6-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles with Separate Lighting
In ordering the parts I got a little confused as to exactly which kit I needed. My motorhome has combined brake/turn signal lights & the car ('03 Subaru Outback) has separate brake/turn/parking lights. Thought I needed the 6 diode kit (which I ordered) until I had all the parts here & read through the instructions for the umpteenth time (BEFORE cutting anything) & then realized what they were doing. Turns out all I needed was the 4 diode kit. Sounds like there won't be any problems returning the unneeded parts since they were never installed. Great service there! Took a lot apart in the back of the car because of the lack of space behind the tail light assemblies, but it all comes apart pretty easily. Also allowed me to route the wiring along side the stock harness. Have a bunch of 1/2" split loom here & used it. Thought I would have lots of wire left over, but I actually had to splice 2 cut offs to make a jumper long enough to get from 1 side of the car to the other. Glad the car wasn't any longer & I didn't have to make up 2 jumpers as with some of the kits! Hardest part was finding a hole in the firewall & getting the harness routed under the dash so as to not tangle with the pedals, etc. I just don't flex like I used to. Everything works fine although it was NOT a "5 minute job".
The diodes and wiring are good and worked well. But the 118158 converter produced a 3.5 volt drop such that the brake lights were as dim as the tail lights. And when a turn signal was triggered the brake lights dimmed even further. I ended up stringing a separate brake wire through the car and re-wiring my truck with a 5-wire connector.

Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit
Very complete kit. My only problem mounting it in a 2014 Chevy Spark is the limited space for the diodes. After much trial and fitting I found a suitable location. See photo.
This item was recommended by Jameson once he saw what I was planning to order for the tow bars and brake system. It was installed by a shop on the etrailer authorized installers list, along with everything else for the entire towing system. It does attach to both vehicles just fine, although at first I wasn't sure it was fully attached on the motorhome side. I was afraid it would just slide back out, but it hasn't.

Roadmaster Standard Magnetic Tow Lights
These lights have worked flawlessly for the whole 2023 camping season on my RV towed vehicle. I mount them on the rear of the roof so they are nice and high above bicycles on a hitch mounted rack.
Extremely happy with the tow bar wiring. Not one problem for the year!

Roadmaster FuseMaster Fuse Bypass - 13" - 20-Amp Mini-Fuse
Ordering and shipping was fast and easy. Products arrived in good condition. I haven't installed them yet, but it all looks as advertised. Not my first order with etrailer and the customer service was outstanding as always. Why anyone would order from any place other then etrailer I cannot fathom.
Roadsters product worked well. I did not remove the lower dash part, and just did extreme yoga to remove and install the fuse bypass. This was the worst part. I can't believe that Honda put this fuse block in such a difficult to access location. The rest was simple. Installing the small connectors was a trick, (I also didn't use the fuse connector) but I finally got the connections in the fuse block. Drilled the hole from the outside and installed the switch. The location could have been lower and more to the left as there was a thicket portion of the dash on the back that prevented the lock nut from seating, but the switch is tight and works well. This is absolutely the way to go instead of pulling a fuse on my 2014 Honda CRV!

RoadMaster Bulb and Socket Set for Tail Light Wiring Kits
Bought this light kit to install in the un-used bottom position in or 2005 Honda CR-V. No need to tap into vehicle's wiring harness. Easy to install, works great! Highly recommend.
This bulb kit is just what I needed to add trailer lights to my 'toad' vehicle. The sockets felt like quality items, it was simple to install. I had my own wire, I think it turned out great.

Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord
The install on my Ford Maverick is clean and functional, so this is more of a customer service review... excellent customer service! During the 4-day towing set-up install, the forecast was for freezing temps and my rig was not winterized. I called in mid panic and the motorhome was moved indoors. A few months after using the tow set-up, a minor problem developed. I called and the CSR apologized and said, I can see how that might be frustrating, and a replacement cable (slightly longer) was sent free of charge.
I also purchased brackets and receivers for the tow bar. Both were as advertised and are functioning very well. The staff were also very knowledgeable and helpful. Hard to find service of this kind in today’s world.

Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit w/ 7-Way to 6-Wire Connector - LED Bulb and Socket - Red
Installed in my 2024 Chevy Trax. I ran the wire harness up through the front fender, and along the DS rocker panel. No drilling into body required. However, I purchased extra loom to better protect exposed wires next to body. Additionally, I purchased extra wire to support the DS to PS taillight connections. Finally, be advised the plastic taillight assemply is "double hulled," so once you bore through the exterior of the assembly, you will need to drill again, into the lense. On this point, and to ensure a good fit of the bulb socket, a Dremel tool was used to grind down the plastic surface, to ensure a good flat and tight fit. Finally, I used the first cut-out to fashion a cap and to seal the light socket installation. See pic.
I am very happy with this kit. It gives you everything you need to setup an independent brake light system for you toad and therefore bypassing the vehicles internal wiring and computers. I went with this setup as I did not want to complicate my wiring or damage the internal systems of the toad. IT takes sometime to install, but once done hooking up and running the system is simple as plugging in your 7way connector. Combine this with a onboard braking system, and you have the perfect system to pull your two vehicle behind your RV.

My E-trailer experience was outstanding! From the great selection guide to the delivery to the installation support. The installation videos were very helpful. I had two installation issues that were answered with a prompt phone call. One call was on a Saturday morning. I highly recommend E-trailer!
Highly recommend E-Trailer for all of your towing accessories. Great product, great customer service!!

Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - LED Bulb and Socket - Red
This kit did the job very well. I could have bought each part separately and saved some money, but I went with the comfort knowing all these parts will work together to accomplish the job. I couldn't figure what LED bulb to use for both brake and turn signal. I routed the wire along the truck wiring harness for half the way to the front, then slipped it into the frame channel for the rest of the way. I used a Curt heavy, round 4 pin plug at the front grill. It was a bit of work and took many hours but came out clean!
I installed this on our 2019 Equinox towed. Love the convenience of just plugging in the towed vehicle. The most difficult part was deciding on what part of the light housing to drill the hole for the light socket.
What our customers are saying:
"Thanks for the great service. The order arrived at my doorstep yesterday afternoon. Thank you for making sure the order was complete. I installed the hitch and wire kit last night with no problems. The instructions were perfect. Bruce"
