Recommended Converter for a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500 to Work w/ a Trailer w/ Combined Lighting Functions

Question:
Hello Im looking to get my 2006 gmc 2500 with 7 pin trailer connector to function with my combined tail light trailers. My GMC used a separate curcit for the turn signals. Do I need a converter? Do you offer a plug in solution so I can use my trailers that all use the 7 pin standard plug with my GMC with separate curcits? Thanks,

Yes, you do Grant but it's not plug in. I recommend the Hopkins Tail Light Converter item # HM48847. This converter will need to be wired in line of your 2006 GMC Sierra 2500's 7-Way. This will take the 3 wire brake lights and turn signals and convert them to a 2 wire system like what's used on your trailers.

Hey, did the Hopkins Tail Light Converter work out for your GMC and trailers? I'm asking because your experience could help others with similar setups.
