Question:

Good Morning, I just have a simple question for you. Recently I had purchased a trailer wiring kit for my Nissan. It came with a 4 way flat. I been looking at Blazer has a set of trailer lights that now have a backup light as well . Kinda cool, not completely necessary but at night etc, not a bad idea. If I were to put them on my trailer, now I have a 4 flat and theirs say 5 flat how does that work ? Do I need an adapter or need to run and extra wire? By the way, yes the wire kit was excellent and easy to install! Thanks

You'd need to convert the 4-way to a 5-way on your vehicle for the reverse lights to function. For that you'll need the adapter part # 20036 which will take and run a single wire up to the reverse light circuit of your vehicle.

I attached an install video for this adapter on a similar vehicle as yours for you to check out as well.
