Wire your vehicle and get the signal lights required for flat towing without having to splice into your wiring with this custom, plug-in harness. Integrated diodes prevent feedback from RV for safe operation.
Features:
Wiring your car for flat towing has never been easier. No more testing wires or splicing into your electrical system. No need to painstakingly position multiple diodes beneath your vehicle. No worries about voiding your warranty. With this custom-fit towed vehicle wiring kit from Hopkins, all you have to do is plug the harness into your vehicle's existing wiring, which is located behind your car's tail light assemblies. No cutting, tapping, or splicing is required.
After plugging in the wiring harness, use the included bracket to mount the 4-way flat connector at the front of your towed car. An extension loop (sold separately) is required to connect your towed car to your RV.
Because your vehicle has a combined lighting system - wherein the brake signals and the turn signals are carried on a single wire - a brake light relay (RM-88400 - sold separately) may be required if you use a supplemental braking system with your towing setup. A supplemental braking system depresses the brake pedal in your towed car every time you apply the brakes in your RV. So, if your towed car's brake lights illuminate when the brake pedal is pressed and the engine is off - as is the case when towing - then you need to install a relay to ensure that the lights on your towed car always act in accordance with the signals sent by your RV via the wiring harness. Without a relay, the brake signal from your towed car will override the turn signal sent by your RV when you slow down to make turns, creating a potential hazard.

Simple installation and excellent quality product! I installed this harness on my 2018 Jeep Wrangler. After one year it is still performing flawlessly. Don’t do like I did on my first tow vehicle and pay someone hundreds to thousands of dollars to do something so easy. Thank you etrailer and Hopkins for easy to follow instructions and videos!
Collins - 12/01/2020Setting up our 2017 Jeep Wrangler Sport to flat tow behind our motorhome. found your website and employees very helpful and knowledgeable. Received Hopkins wiring kit (#hm56200) and brake light relay kit (#rm88400). I will be ordering base plate, tow bar and supplemental brake system plus the etrailer trailer hitch and wiring for the Jeep from etrailer. Your website was very easy to navigate and the video tutorials most helpful for installing the products you offer. Nothing on other websites can compare to the service you offer. I will be looking forward to ordering and installing the other parts I need to complete my flat tow project from etrailer.
john l - 02/24/2021Great product easy install. I found out on passenger side it was easier to drill with hole saw to pass wire trough cover .then made gromit out of rubber chiar/table cap .Sliced up side and noched for wires snapped right in. Product works great I would recommend .
This harness works great for flat towing a Jeep Wrangler. The installation was straight forward and easy. It's nice to not have to run magnetic lights from the rear of the Wrangler to the tow vehicle anymore. Now, I just plug in to the adapter on the front aftermarket bumper.
Excellent product. The quality and design is great. I highly recommend the Hopkins wiring components to match the Falcon2 tower, it is so simple to connect.
Kerry L - 06/09/2021Great product. Works perfect and installs easy to factory plugs with no modification or cutting of taillight wires.
After one year of service this product is still working great! It was super easy to install too!
Steve C - 08/10/2021Absolutely easy to install in our rubicon jeep
Todd A - 08/23/2021Etrailer installed it for us and it has worked great.
Easy to install it works as designed and saved me a lot of time and headaches. I would have to recommend this to anyone who has a Jeep Wrangler for their “toad” vehicle.
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.
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.

The wiring harness for our 2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport was easy to install and fit and worked perfectly.
Awesome plug and play system...no cutting of wires!
Kenny P - 10/03/20202013 Jeep Wrangler. Perfect fit. Wires are long enough. No surprises. Recommend a can of foam to seal back light wells.
easy install and works great for getting rid of those magnet mounted lights! very clean and works great!
This product was easy to install and has given me no problems. We have towed the Jeep throughout the year and this product continues to work every time.
Works great easy hook up, ease of install depends on what you are installing it in. It really was plug and play.
Pretty easy to install if you are a little bit mechanical. After one year of regular use, still working like new!
Have towed this vehicle 5 or 6 times in the past year without problems.
Very easy installation with the enclosed instructions and viewing several videos on the installation. Very Pleased!
