Most converters are built around 12 volts, which doesn’t help much on commercial or heavy-duty setups. This Curt powered tail light converter handles 24-volt input, stepping it down to safely run standard trailer lighting. It keeps brake, turn, and running lights working correctly even on vehicles that run higher voltage systems.
Tying trailer wiring directly into the vehicle’s light circuits can overload or confuse sensitive electronics. The powered converter pulls its own power source instead of drawing from the light circuits, protecting the vehicle’s wiring and preventing feedback that could cause blown fuses or warning lights.
With a splice-in design, the converter can be connected cleanly to almost any lighting system. The plug and lead layout makes it straightforward to identify each connection point so you can wire it in quickly without chasing signals through the harness.
Because it isn’t tied to one specific vehicle type, this converter works for a wide variety of setups—whether you’re wiring a work truck, a camper, or an imported model that uses 24 volts. It’s a simple way to make sure your trailer lights work right no matter what you’re driving.

Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this CURT 24 volt taillight converter. This converter is going to ensure that your vehicle's wiring matches that of your trailer. This is gonna work for your 24 volt two-wire, three-wire, and pulse width modulation systems. Now, keep in mind this is only gonna be compatible with 24 volt vehicle wiring systems and 24 volt trailer wiring systems.
So, if you use this product with a 24 volt vehicle wiring system in your standard 12 volt trailer, it can cause issues with your warranty. It can cause lamp failure, overheating, and potentially, fire. So, you wanna make sure that both of your vehicle and your trailer are needing that 24 volt system. And if it is, this system is going to work really great for you to convert your signals over for your trailer. This is going to connect directly to your vehicle's wiring.
You get about two feet of wire here and they do have a clear indicator on which colors go to which wire. So, you just wanna test your wires on your vehicle, figure out which ones are sending the signal that you need and then tap into that with the color-coded wire that will match that signal. Now, this converter does not come with any quick splices. We do have those available here at etrailer.com to make it more convenient and quick for you to get this wired in place. This also does not come with any ring terminals or butt connectors to make your connections and ground your system.
So, all those additional little hardware components you will have to purchase separately. You may already have them if you do this kind of work regularly but if not, we do have them available here at etrailer.com for you. Just wanna make sure you're getting the right gauge size for your vehicle wiring. This is gonna provide maximum of 2.1 amps per circuit for your stop and turn lights and 7.5 amps per circuit for your taillights. It is constructed here in the USA using surface mount technology, or SMT, for a nice, consistent, reliable performance.
It's gonna maximize your trailer's light yield and intensity while producing minimal heat. It is going to resist water and vibration thanks to the potted enclosure and it's gonna ensure superior operation in the rough road conditions. And so, as you're going down the road, you're not gonna have to worry about your wires coming loose inside there. As long as they're connected well, it'll hold up really well for you. They do include some very simple instructions to walk you through the installation process. But definitely something that we want to make sure that you have all those other components or that you can wire it in safely to your vehicle and your trailer. That completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching..
