Question:
I want to know if there is a Flat 4 pin adapter with crocodile clips that will plug into my Enclosed Harley trailer so I can run the light inside with an external battery? Currently I can only run the lights when the trailer wire is hooked to the truck and truck key is on? TIA

We do not have a direct adapter, but you could very make your own. Using alligator clips and the Hopkins Wiring Harness # HM48035 would allow you to do this. I do recommend installing at least a 15 amp fuse # C58450-1 and Fuse Holder # SWC9538 between the 4-Way and the battery to keep your setup safe in case of a short.
