Question:
Can you wire these lights to existing truck tail lights. I built a camper and would like to install tail lights on the camper and wonder if these can be wired to my tail lights. Thank you, Dave

Expert Reply:
This will depend on your truck Dave but my recommendation is to always wire the lights into a powered converter like the Curt # C59236. This will not only combine separate turn/brake signals to work on the same light but it will also prevent you from pulling to much power through your stock harness and cause a wiring issue on the truck. The power for the turn/brake lights on the Light # STL68RB will then come from your battery rather than the factory harness. If your truck already has a 7-way that uses a USCAR round connector into the 7-way we have the Splitter # C56584 which will give you a 5-way flat that you can wire to the new lights as well. Using a 5-way Connector # HM37918 would make it more easily removable.
