Converter for Separating Brake and Turn Signals

Question

Question:

I have a 6500 gmc truck. It has brake and turn light on same wire, on each side. I want to install new lights with separate turn and brake light separate wire for each. Can I use a 4 to 3 wire adapter in reverse?

Hello Bill; the converter you're referencing won't work that way. What you need is the Curt 2 to 3 Wire Tail Light Converter # C56196. This is specifically designed to separate the combined turn and brake signals.
