Question:
Hi I had a question regarding your Tail Light converters, I saw a post on them and had a few questions 292463 I have seen the two modules you offer 118158 and C56196 I had two questions regarding them, 1st would my hazards flash all of my bulbs or just the ones that have been turned into an amber turn signal. 2nd is it possible to put in LED bulbs with these at all? Please let me know, thank you

Hey Ezekiel, thanks for reaching out!
Great questions about the Tow Ready # 118158 and Curt # C56196 converters. When you put your hazards on, all bulbs connected to that output side of the converter for the turn signals will flash.
As for the LED function...that's been a sore spot for years with these things. We've had customers successfully get them to work at times, but Tow Ready and Curt get frustrated when people talk about it and they're adamant that these don't work with LED nights. So, you can definitely try it out, but I can't pinpoint what LED lights might actually work with them.
What are you planning on using the converter on?
