Expert Reply:
If your wishbone that has 5 wires has 2 Brown wires, like the Optronics # A35W42B, then they would both be for the running light function and you will connect them to the single Brown wire one a 4 wire like the Curt # C58044.
The two Brown wires on a wishbone let you run the running light function down both sides of your trailer. If you only had 4 wires then you would have to cross the Brown wire to the other side of your trailer when needed.
I have attached some photos of both parts that I mentioned for clarification.
