INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: DO NOT EXCEED PRODUCT, TRAILER OR TOW VEHICLE LAMP LOAD RATINGS, WHICHEVER IS LOWER
24-VOLT TAILLIGHT CONVERTER
TESTING PROCEDURE
If testing with a 24V compatible test light, attach the ground
lead of the tester to the exposed ground wire of the trailer side
end. Activate the tow vehicle left turn, right turn, tail and brake
lights one at a time. Probe the three signal outputs of the trailer
side end to confirm proper functionality.
If testing with a 24V compatible trailer, connect the trailer and
run the same test as the circuit tester using the trailer lights.
If a function on the trailer lights does not work properly,
disconnect the trailer, turn functions on the vehicle off
and recheck function with a circuit tester. If functionality
is good, check the trailer for potential problems.
WARNING
This product is only compatible with 24V vehicle
wiring systems and 24V trailer wiring systems.
Using this product with a 24V vehicle wiring system and
standard 12V trailer can cause loss of warranty, lamp failures,
overheating and potential fire.
Do not exceed product ratings, trailer lamp ratings
or tow vehicle lamp ratings, whichever is lower.
Check for miscellaneous items that may be hidden
behind or under any surface before drilling to avoid
damage and / or personal injury.
Signal Circuits - 24-volt output / 2.1 amps per side
Tail / Running Circuits - 24-volt output / 7.5 amps total (24-volt)
Check vehicle owner's manual or contact
the vehicle manufacturer for more information.

INSTALLATION
Step 5
Locate a clean, accessible mounting location for the black
converter box. If mounting outside of the vehicle, find a clean
surface that is out of the path of spray and debris from the
rear wheels and road surface.
Step 1
Locate vehicle taillight wiring.
Step 2
Using a 24V capable test lamp, probe or multi-meter,
identify the corresponding wires in the harness for the
left turn, right turn, taillights and brake lights.
Step 3
Locate vehicle battery and disconnect
the negative battery terminal.
Step 4
Using snap locks, attach the input wires of the taillight converter
to the corresponding vehicle harness wires identified in Step 2.
Refer to photos A, B and C to install the snap locks.
Green wire: Right-turn circuit
Step 6
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector such
as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame or drill a 3/32"
pilot hole for the provided screw. The area should be free of
rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using a
ring terminal and screw.
Step 7
Secure the converter wires to the vehicle using cable ties.
Reinstall all items removed during install and reconnect
negative battery terminal.
