This complete kit includes everything you need to carry your RV's brake and turn signals to your towed car's tail lights. Diodes prevent electrical feedback. The hybrid coiled/straight adapter cord is ideal for tow bars with channel guides.

Notes:
"Don't be intimidated by diodes: if you can strip and crimp wire, this installation will be no problem."
A combined lighting system uses the same light bulb to signal both braking and turning. (In other words, the car signals a turn by flashing the brake light.)
A separate lighting system has the brake signal and the turn signal light up independently of each other. Typically the turn signal is amber.
To keep the separate lighting system on your car functioning properly while you're flat towing, add a wiring converter (118158 - sold separately) and 2 additional diodes.
If your towed car's brake lights illuminate when you press the brake pedal with the engine off, you need to install a brake light relay (RM-88400 - sold separately) with this kit. Without a relay, your car's brake signal will override the turn signal sent by the RV when you are slowing down to make a turn, creating a potentially dangerous situation. Other drivers will see that you're slowing down, but not that you're making a turn. With a brake light relay, you can signal both and travel safely.
