This tail light converter with a 72" 4-way flat harness converts your Hyundai Tiburon's lighting system to match your trailer's. Designed for Hyundai Tiburons that have amber turn signals. Installation hardware sold separately.
Features:
Specs:
Some Hyundai Tiburons operate on a 3-wire system, wherein the brake signal and the turn signals run on separate wires to illuminate different lights. (Typically, these Hyundai Tiburons have amber turn signals.) But most trailers run on a 2-wire system, which means the brake and turn signals travel along a single wire. You'll notice that, on your trailer, the brake light will flash for the turn signals.
If your Hyundai Tiburon operates on a 3-wire system, it will need to be converted so it will be compatible with the wiring system of your trailer. This is where a tail light converter comes into play. This converter lets you combine the brake and turn signal functions of your Hyundai Tiburon so they run on a single wire to properly activate your trailer's tail lights.
| Wire Color | Wire Function |
|---|---|
| Green | Right turn |
| Brown | Tail lights and parking lights |
| Red | Brakes |
| White | Ground |
| Yellow | Left turn |
To begin the installation, use a circuit tester (sold separately) to double-check the function of each wire on your Hyundai Tiburon's tail light wiring harness. The color/function of the splice-in wires on this converter may not match the color/function of those on your Hyundai Tiburon, so you'll want to be sure to check all of the wire functions first. Once you've figured out the functions of your Hyundai Tiburon's wiring, use quick-splice or butt connectors (sold separately) to connect the corresponding wires on the trailer connector.
Use double-sided tape to stick the converter box to a flat surface inside your Hyundai Tiburon near the tail lights. It's helpful to clean the surface first so the tape can adhere fully.
Find a raw, unpainted metal surface to use as a grounding point and secure the white ground wire with a self-tapping screw (sold separately). Cleaning the surface prior to securing the white wire will ensure the converter is fully grounded. Finally, secure the converter wires to your Hyundai Tiburon using cable ties (sold separately).

This tail light converter with a 72" 4-way flat harness converts your vehicle's lighting system to match your trailer's. Designed for vehicles that have amber turn signals. Installation hardware sold separately.Works with L E D lights
Outstanding! Solved my motorcycle to trailer wiring nightmare easily. My hats off to Sheila for finding a great solution. My old Gold Wing now can safely tow our equally old Bushtec, which we also updated with new LED lights from etrailer.
This Hopkins light converter works great, is small and simple. I used it to create a converter cable from a Euro 13-pin plug to a US 4-pin flat plug. Works great and is small enough to keep the cable compact.
Still works great
Installed easily. Wire colors were not the same as my car, but it wasn't hard to figure out what hooked to what. I would have given 5 stars had the four required tap connectors been included with the harness. Trailer lights and flashers worked just fine on the first attempt - didn't even need to change the turn signal relay to prevent high speed flashing.

Fine and dandy!
This kit was just what I needed for my situation. With the variety of vehicle light combinations, and various power requirements, trailer connections can get complicated. But etrailer seems to have exactly what is needed in each situation.
Once you choose the correct Hopkins kit, ordering is easy, and shipment is quick.

Was the perfect choice
Not only was I pleased with the speed and efficient manner this was shipped, but due to age had a company install this unit for me. They wanted to know where I got unit for this old of an automobile and we're glad that everything they needed was right there to be installed. In this day and age it's nice to deal with such professional companies like etrailer.com....
I bought this for my 2002 Eurovan to wire up some safety lights for my hitch bike rack, and it was exactly what I needed! I appreciate that eTrailer has reasonable prices, unlike some VW van specialty sites.
Not worth the money. It does do the job, but u're better off searching for one that has the splicing connectors for the same or less .

We do not have any quick connects for your 2001 VW Jetta Sedan TDI unfortunately.
etrailer provided me with a great experience ordering a trailer hitch, a wiring kit and accessories at a competitive price. I found their web site is easy to use for finding all the components I needed to purchase and they delivered them when promised.
Installed on a 2006 Honda Element. Found an etrailer video on youtube to help me with the wiring and everything was perfect. The device installed behind my left tail light, and I had to use a butt splice connector and some extra wire to lengthen the wire to reach the right turn signal. Even those steps were spelled out in the video.
Great website and support. Would order again from etrailer.
It wired up nice and easy. It’s very compact the instructions are very clear. Great customer service. Though it was a bitch to figure out which wires deadwood on my particular cars taillights, I had to test each wire to figure out what its function was in order to hook the correct wires together. A lot of people on YouTube were using quick splice Connectors, I soldered all of my connections. I recommend doing that
Product was exactly as described. Only thing that i encountered different than the instructions listed ,, Stated match wiring color to color. Well it is hard to connect green to green for right turn signal when there is NO green
wire for my right turn signal. It is actually tan. So color codes don't always match. The product works great and is used to supply power to my Jazzy hauler. Does what i purchased it for. Very happy with the product and excellent service from etrailer.
The wiring harness works perfectly on my 2004 VW golf TDI. Not sure why I needed the electronic controller for my car, but this is what was recommended, and it works.
Ease of installation, good directions, works perfect from start, would get one again in future.

all in good working order
Installed fairly easy. Fit was exact. The carriage bolts for this frame need to be an inch shorter. Would have been nice to include a splice kit for the electrical. Installer should have adequate mechanical ability. Good product. Arrived promptly. Would shop here again.
etrailer is the real deal. The hitch and inverter package I purchased is high quality. heavy duty and built to last. Shipping was free and speedy during this time of so many slow downs.
I would definitely recommend to others. Thnx!
Just what I wanted. The right part every time. Thanks etrailer.com

Just fine, no problems.
Converter replaced the original U-Haul unit that was installed with new hitch when my 2001 Toyota Tacoma was just purchased. I guess the old unit had an internal failure as the RH brake light quit working on my trailers. The new one works as it should and I hope to get another 16 years or so from it
Took all of 40 minutes to install and wire up. My suggestion is to make sure to have a deep well 3/4 inch socket and an impact. It will save a bunch of time. Also get quick splices for easy wiring of your harness. Other than that pretty east stuff.
this is exactly what I needed to upgrade my truck for wiring

fantastic. this is a high quality item
Easy install. Great service.
Very good company to deal with. This tail light converter kit works really good on my toyota echo,also at a very good price.Thanks.
I verified the signals coming from my motorcycle and the colors didn't match up to the standards but doing that and using solder pellet shrink connectors made it a neat and easy install.
