Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles

I ordered base plate, tow bar and all the goodies to hook up to our RV. Very good service and everything was delivered in 3 days. In the process of installing now. I have ordered parts from etrailer before and they have always been very good. 574633

Great product. Watched the video a couple times to get a good idea of what needed to be done. Played video on my phone while installing. Took me a couple hours but was taking my time. Got this and the brake light relay switch that was recommended. Hooked everything up and it all worked great. The videos help out tremendously! Thank you! 195130

Product arrived on time and as described. The kit went in fast, and I ran better than 90% inside the vehicle frame. If you're going to purchase this and install on a Wrangler, get a small tube of caulk to refill the hole you'll need to poke in the insulating foam by the tail light assembly. 210885

One year after installation and everything is still in working order.

Attached very easily, enough wire so nothing was short. The instructions both on video and paper were easy to understand. Anyone can install this to their towed vehicle. 569497

Installed this product on a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. I watched the video on installing this product and it really helped with the install. The install was really easy and I like the fact that I did not have to splice into the Jeep's wiring. Highly recommend this product. 168502

2008 Jeep Wrangler

I bought this wiring kit for my Jeep Wrangler 2008 from eTrailer and it arrived on time. I have wired lights on several tow vehicles in the past with diodes and soldering wires, but this kit is plug and play. Still the same work running the wires but much easier to hook up and works great. You have to remove the left rear tail light assembly which is 4 screws to access the Jeeps connector. You unplug the connector and put the harness in this kit in series and plug it in. 357436

2015 Jeep Wrangler

This wiring kit installed easily and has worked perfectly over the past year. I installed it myself and there were no issues during installation. The instructions were very clear and all the necessary parts and components fit perfectly. I would definitely recommend this wiring kit for anyone looking to tow a vehicle behind your RV without having to install and remove temporary rear lights every time you leave or disconnect the towed vehicle. 497807

2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Worked very well. Easy to install with the video guide from etrailer. Will have to buy a new one since I just traded in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler for a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee and will definitely get it from etrailer. Great customer service. 395517

Product was excellent, and went together in tail lights. However, on Drivers Side, had an bottom insert to pull out, for wiring to tail lights, and on Passenger side had to drill 1 1/4 hole, for wiring to tail light. The other similar product Etrailer carries has a neat video, which I studied. Also, be careful on running the wire across the rear. I had to use 11 inch tie raps on frame, and ran it in very rear frame away from muffler, pipes and moving shocks, torrosion bar, springs, etc. Also, had to work at running wires from back to front. Plan to spend some time on this, and again, get longer tie raps. To tie around square supports I used 1 and 1/2 11 inch raps combining to 11" inch together to make about a 16 inch rap. Hope this helps but I am sure many of you have good ole American know how! One last thing. I think the other similar product, which was not immediately available , has another connection for a rear trailer hitch ? I think I had this was on my older jeep? Would strongly look at this and consider it. E Trailer has this but it had a long back order, so needed something. 127276

Purchased this for a new Jeep Wrangler unlimited because I did not want to splice the existing harness. Worked out great and super easy to install. Took me about 2 hours, Decided to use bigger zip ties and some plastic wire loom throughout most of the install to help secure and protect the wires. THANKS etrailer!!! 178680

I received the product in excellent condition and it is exactly what I ordered. It was received in a timely fashion after ordering. I also received the base plate kit and it is exactly what I ordered also. I am very. pleased with the order and the ease with which I was able to complete the process. I would highly recommend etrailer and use etrailer for any further towing needs and for other products that they carry. 376537

We love to hear those great comments David M Taylor!!! Hopkins appreciates your business and we are grateful you purchased our Wiring Kit. Thank you!

I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Sport Unlimited 4 door, after I installed the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - HM56200, I found I had to install the Road-Master Brake Lite Relay for Towed Vehicles - RM-88400 , I'm using a supplemental brake system, when the brake is depressed with ignition off, the brake lights come on and cancel out any directional signal on my toad, installing the relay solved this problem. I watched the video and this was helpful. Installation took me a few hours, climbing under the dash was not an easy chore for me, I'm not as young as I want to be, had to purchase 16 gauge Red wire to run to Fuse box under the hood, also I recommend having extra wire ties to do this. I recommend both products, easy to install and good quality. 319139

I have now installed the following on my 2017 Wrangler: Brake light relay kit . Hopkins Towed vehicle Tail Light wiring kit. Blue Ox base plate. Blue Ox Patriot Portable RF Braking System. All of this has taken about 3 days of work spread out over a week or so. Overall it went well. Not too many surprises. Crawling around under a car at 71 is a bit of a strain but I'll get over it. I must say that Donna P. has been a wonderful source of great information and has stayed right on top of the process. eTrailer has been a great source for this project. I would recommend you all with no hesitation. 396392

Thanks John for the great review and rating!! Hopkins appreciates your business.

I am still in love with the products. My only issue is having enough time to use them more.

Etrairler comes through with quality parts and excellent customer service again. This item came with clear instructins and had my Jeep Wrangler wired for towing in under 45 minutes. Shipping was fast and even arrived a day before the eta. Very happy with everything and I highly reccomend Etrailer! 371414

Thanks Glen for the great review!! Hopkins is pleased that you had a good experience with etrailer and the install was quick with clear instructions.

Installed on a 2016 JKU to be towed behind my RV. This is the second one we have installed and it went on in a snap. We also installed a break away and it bolted right on the prewelded tab. Everything fit snugly and was done in about 20 min. As always etrailer provides top notch service. 345185

Great product. Arrived earlier than I expected. Installed it on a Jeep Wrangler 2017. Installed without any issues following the provided online videos. Was compatible with a rear hitch wiring harness that I purchased locally. Everything snapped together as they were standard plugs. 384462

Thanks for the review on the Hopkins Wiring Kit, Henry!!! Hopkins appreciates your business.

This was very easy to install on my Wrangler Unlimited and ties in very well with the existing lights. I do recommend purchasing the RoadMaster Relay kit. 554254

HM56200 Review: I have a 2017 Jeep Wrangler and needed a way to use the Jeep Tail/Stop/Signal lights. The etrailer staff was very helpful in helping me purchase the correct system. I had a local RV shop install it. No muss, no fuss. Works every time I hitch the Jeep up to my 1991 Hawkins Diesel Pusher Motorhome. I also use the RM-521448-5 Base Plate, RM-676 Nighthawk Tow Bar and the SM99243 SMI Air Force One Brake system for Air Brakes. 5 Stars! 635927

Products are perfect and delivery time was amazing! 629568

Very easy installation with the enclosed instructions and viewing several videos on the installation. Very Pleased! 619329

We were disappointed with the wiring kit. When towing the vehicle, if you put on a signal light it works fine until you apply the brake in the towed vehicle. The signal light stops working in the towed vehicle. Once you release the brakes, the signal light resumes working. If we knew this, we would not have bought it. 615608

Parts came in a timely manner. Part was exactly as advertised. Quick and easy installation. 613571

Worked great. I have towed my jeep over 5000 miles the past 12 months and this harness did exactly what it was supposed to do. Easy install, but watch the videos to better understand the wire routing. 599644

I was debating between 3 and 4 stars. The kit was complete, the installation instructions were good, and the kit works well, however there were 2 short comings. 1.) All connections to both tail lights are available in the left taillight connectors. The kit however doesn't make use of the right taillight connection behind the left taillight. So the kit has a wire and connector that the installer has to run over to the right taillight. It is unnecessary. 2.) There is no schematic included that shows where the diodes are with respect to the wiring and connectors. I would have been helpful since I also have a 7 pin connector that also wires into the left taillight connectors. 578447

great way to tie in the wrangler lights etc 578032

Easy to install . Unit had a broke ground wire which lead to very weak lights which lead to tracking down the cause , repaired wire and are very pleased with results. 558687

Tiffany was very helpful. Thanks again 556197

very good product . fast shipping ..will do business again 553576

Super easy to install, I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 75th edition. The electrical connectors fit perfect and there was more than enough wire to complete the install. Just remove tail light covers and drop in the wires. And route the wire thru the frame. Have onhand some additional zip ties. Took me about 1 1/2 hours. 549001

Received the product ordered on time 542601
