A converter is going to be needed for the 4-way harness on your 1998 Volvo V70 in order to ensure your trailer's lights
function properly with the wiring of your Volv, and the most economical option for a harness that fits is from Hopkins:

- Hopkins Active Tail Light Converter with Install Kit # 46255

Since it sounds like you plan on doing some towing, if you also need a hitch and ball mount, here are the correct parts for your '98 V70:

- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12211
- Curt Class II Drawbar # C45521
- Pin and Clip # F-4
- 2" Hitch Ball # A-82 or 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # A-80
