Plug-and-play custom harness gets turn and brake signals on your towed car with no hardwiring or splicing, and no effect on your warranty. The built-in diodes protect your car from electrical feedback.
Features:
Notes:
A combined lighting system, or 2-wire 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, or 3-wire 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 the engine is off and your car's brake lights illuminate when you press the brake pedal, 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.

True plug and play on vehicle end. Easy to connect to front end connector for your tow system.
This wiring kit that was sent to me is completely the wrong one for my jeep. I even took it to an RV guy who hooks jeeps to RV s and he agreed that the product was incorrect. I did explain this to your company shortly after receiving it, and I was told it was correct. However it is still sitting in the box in my garage. I did contact a different company that specializes in Jeep parts and was giving the info for the correct wiring kit. Thanks
This wiring kit was easy to install on my vehicle.
Terrible product. After hours of trying to figure out why my passenger side would not work, the diode switch was bad. Nothing like running wire and taking wheel liners out to find that out.
This was a breeze to install!! About 30 min and I had working lights on my Jeep and was ready to hook it up behind my motorhome. Price was great too. Stopped at my local RV dealer and he said he could get me a wiring kit for $250! Saw this one online for $50 bucks and took a chance. Sure glad I did! Disconnect a couple of plugs, plug in new harness, route the wires to the front and BOOM! Ready for the trip! Thanks guys!
Easy to install ! About an hour! Used some split flexible wire protection ( not included with purchase) Would recommend a 5ft 4 pole flat trailer connector extension when using a tow bar!
Pretty easy install on my 06 Jeep Wrangler. Watch the videos and it will all make sense for install. Had plenty of wire to reach. A stiff wire for fishing the wires across my fuel tank made the job easy.
Item works like a charm on my Jeep Wrangler….plug and play!
Super easy install! Just took a little while and was very messy so wear latex gloves.
Great system! Plug and play, works as it should.
Works well!
Kit hooked up just as described and works perfectly. I highly recommend this kit for all jeep owners.
Installed on an 02 Jeep Wrangler. Installation was as easy as following instructions. Works great. Highly recommended.
Alex at etrailer you are the best.
Easy install, works great. Simple route to operate taillights on the toad without draining it’s battery since power comes from the RV.
Wasn't working called etrailer and they helped solve the issue it's working great. Thanks Etrailer.
Very good and easy to install
I was looking for a wiring harness to tow my 2000 Jeep Wrangler. I watched a YouTube vidio sponsored by you guys. The video recommended the Hopkins wiring harness. I ordered it, it came with in 3 days as promised and was extremely simple to install!!! Love a company that that delivers what it advertises!!! Thanks again!!!

The parts I purchased to ei my jeep for towing were easy to install got the tow bar adapter but somewhat difficult or the wiring harness. Passenger side rear lights on my 2005 Tj were behind the charcoal filers in the rear fender and required a lot of work to access.
Easy plug and play. I cut the 4pin connector off and wired a 6 pin socket with battery caharge line to be compatible with my tow vehicle and other TOADS

Quality product, purchased a year ago. Installed in my Jeep in roughly 30 min give or take. The directions were easy to read and understand. I highly recommended this product to anyone wanting to wire in taillight for flat tow. You can’t beat the price for a good quality kit like this, a year later and still works flawlessly. This is a true plug and play product. Why pay a shop top $$$ when you can install a hopkins kit in an afternoon. Good job hopkins
This wiring harness was exactly what I was looking for so that I could tow my jeep behind my RV. No cutting, just plug and play (er I mean tow). There was plenty of extra wiring at the front end so that I could route through the engine bay and mount under the front bumper so it was out of site but easily accessible. Worked perfectly!
Everything worked out fine
Good product. Install directions should include which plug in at each taillight should be used if you already have trailer hitch plug in wiring installed. Had to go to Youtube and find a video that talked about the correct colored wire you should connect to. Other than that, install went well.
We installed the wiring harness and never could get it to work so now we use magnetic lights. It was labor intense too install and a little gun shy to re-order the same product. I am a mechanic and was very disappointed in the light unit.
Thanks, kinda nice to vent!
I just finished installing this harness on my 2003 Wrangler. As any wiring on a Jeep, it was uncomfortable and tight to access the wiring. This is normal. The installation sheet instructions were inaccurate for my model, I have a career in automotive, so it was no problem for me. I installed this for flat towing of my Jeep. I ran the harness over the fuel tank and down the drivers side undercarriage, that is where the main harness and brake lines run.
After one year on the vehicle and also installing new LED lights, the wiring kit is still working. I love not having to add extra lights for towing.
