Most Popular Splices into Vehicle Wiring for 2013 Honda Pilot

In ordering the parts I got a little confused as to exactly which kit I needed. My motorhome has combined brake/turn signal lights & the car ('03 Subaru Outback) has separate brake/turn/parking lights. Thought I needed the 6 diode kit (which I ordered) until I had all the parts here & read through the instructions for the umpteenth time (BEFORE cutting anything) & then realized what they were doing. Turns out all I needed was the 4 diode kit. Sounds like there won't be any problems returning the unneeded parts since they were never installed. Great service there! Took a lot apart in the back of the car because of the lack of space behind the tail light assemblies, but it all comes apart pretty easily. Also allowed me to route the wiring along side the stock harness. Have a bunch of 1/2" split loom here & used it. Thought I would have lots of wire left over, but I actually had to splice 2 cut offs to make a jumper long enough to get from 1 side of the car to the other. Glad the car wasn't any longer & I didn't have to make up 2 jumpers as with some of the kits! Hardest part was finding a hole in the firewall & getting the harness routed under the dash so as to not tangle with the pedals, etc. I just don't flex like I used to. Everything works fine although it was NOT a "5 minute job".

The diodes and wiring are good and worked well. But the 118158 converter produced a 3.5 volt drop such that the brake lights were as dim as the tail lights. And when a turn signal was triggered the brake lights dimmed even further. I ended up stringing a separate brake wire through the car and re-wiring my truck with a 5-wire connector.

Very complete kit. My only problem mounting it in a 2014 Chevy Spark is the limited space for the diodes. After much trial and fitting I found a suitable location. See photo.

Finished wiring and first effort to plug in red flex coil to the Jeep and the outside protection cover broke apart; very disappointing. Trying to contact Etrailer for replacement.

I was looking for something to add to my 2014 Equinox for tail/brake/t-signal lighting for towing behind my motorhome. This system worked perfectly , and couldn't have been easier to install. The hardest part was running the wiring from front to rear ( through frame rails and what-not ). Tail-lite hook-up was a breeze. There was plenty of wire to do the job also. Now the vehicle lites work as a trailer and does not interfere with the normal vehicle lite operation.

this is the only company I will buy from

It does what it says on the tin. Easily lit up my XJ so I could tow it. Only regret is that by making the connections at the rear, you don’t get the front market lights on the toad. I should have connected the running lights diode in the harness under the dash so all the marker lights come on at night.

Worked perfect for setting my 2001 Jeep Wrangler up for flat towing behind my Motorhome. The instructions were clearly written, the diode was clearly marked and all the connectors were there to make this wiring job simple.

Haven't installed yet but service was excellent

i used this on my trailer so that i was able to use taillights with separate (amber) turn signals, it works like it is supposed to, BUT it doesn't work with LED tails bc it drops the brake wire voltage coming out of the convertor to 10v causing the brake light LEDs to not function properly; i solved this issue with a voltage regulator (10-32v in - 13.8v out) so if you've got a little wiring knowledge or are using incandescent taillights then it will work great for you.

1 Tail Light Converter - C56196 : i was a little confused, but finely figured it out. 2 Tail Light Isolating Diodes (Qty 4) - 48955 : i was told i would need these (their for towing a vehicle, not a trailer) etrailer salesperson should had known that(they were told) wasted money, cost to ship back

The install on my Ford Maverick is clean and functional, so this is more of a customer service review... excellent customer service! During the 4-day towing set-up install, the forecast was for freezing temps and my rig was not winterized. I called in mid panic and the motorhome was moved indoors. A few months after using the tow set-up, a minor problem developed. I called and the CSR apologized and said, I can see how that might be frustrating, and a replacement cable (slightly longer) was sent free of charge.

The installation ins ructions and video were very helpful. The wiring kit worked perfectly.

This place is the best! Placed my order- easy peasy-delivered on time- Watched install video- again made it so easy and saved $1000 installation fee!!! Thanks for being a great company and special thanks to Carol C my order specialist !!!

I installed this myself along with a tow bar from another company at the same time, in about 4 hours. installation was straightforward and worked perfectly. saved about $800 in total labor.

My E-trailer experience was outstanding! From the great selection guide to the delivery to the installation support. The installation videos were very helpful. I had two installation issues that were answered with a prompt phone call. One call was on a Saturday morning. I highly recommend E-trailer!

Highly recommend E-Trailer for all of your towing accessories. Great product, great customer service!!

The labels for the Right Taillight Running Light splice were labeled Backwards, to module and to vehicle were reversed which wasted 30 minutes of time. Beware! etrailer may want to get this right with the vendor or risk a bunch of needless returns.

I have bought off of you before everything was great this is the first time that I received something that was not what it was supposed to be or was used before the papers on the installation were all wrinkled and dirty and had writing on the ends of the wire were all cut and the connectors were not on I called your company and they made it right and gave me back my money except for my shipping and they told me just to keep it it's no good to me but thank you and I am still buying off of you

etrailer was extremely helpful in getting me parts to flat tow our 2023 Jeep Wagoneer. More specifically, Noah took the time to research the required parts, offer technical guidance, and follow up to ensure I was taken care of. Top notch service which was much appreciated.

Needed new wiring and diodes for my 2023 Jeep Rubicon. ETrailer makes it so easy to set up all the wiring for flat towing.
