Expert Reply:
The center pin on the 7-way trailer connector carries the reverse lamp signal. Install your reverse lamps such as # BUL10CB as well as the # A45CB pigtail and the # A70GB grommet and # BK70BB bracket if needed.
Then, run a length of # DW02359-1 16 gauge wire from the center pin on the trailer connector back to the running lights.
