Question:
Hello, I have a boat trailer that has separate brake and blinker LED lights and need an adaptor to make them work on a four wire system. The vehicles I will be towing the boat with are a 2015 GMC Arcadia and a 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe. If this is not the correct unit can you please recommend what will best fit my applications. Thank you for your assistance.

Expert Reply:
Since your trailer has LED taillights we don't have a converter that will work. Normally we recommend the part # C56196 but this does not work with LED bulbs.
Most likely have a converter already installed on the trailer wiring if it has been used before since combined is the normal trailer wiring on vehicles and trailers.
To go to a combined taillight assembly on your trailer you could also use the part # TLL160RK.
