Recommended Converter for a 2006 GMC Sierra 2500 to Work w/ a Trailer w/ Combined Lighting Functions
Updated 09/12/2025 | Published 05/19/2025
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,

Expert Reply:
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.
