It sounds like you want to add additional lights to the 2009 Honda Pilot. The best solution would be to install a 4-Way trailer wiring connector on the back of your Pilot using # 118491. Then you could plug in a simple magnetic light kit such as # RM-2120. If the Pilot already has a 4-Way flat then you would not need to install # 118491.
If the Pilot has a 7-Way trailer connector then you would also need an adapter, # PK12716, which plugs into the 7-Way and then you would plug the 4-Way into the back of it.
If I have completely missed the mark on this one let me know. If you just need to connect a trailer to power the trailer lights then you need only to install the # 118491 harness if the trailer uses a 4-Way flat connector. But if the trailer has a different type of connector, let me know what it is and I can determine what you would need on the vehicle.
