Any idea why and is there another product that could help with this?** A: There's an existing review of this unit that complains about the same hazards problem. This is a very inexpensive, "passive" unit. It does not have the capability to handle certain electrical systems and loads. I would recommend to anybody that use a quality "active" unit like the Hopkins 48925. For all the work of installing these things, it's really worth the extra money to get something better. **Q: I want to use this on the taillight if my jeep to install led. i need to combine the brake and turn into the led unit. can i use 1 for each side?** A: Dratz – This item would not work with LED lights. We would also need the specific application, to know what to recommend. I would recommend calling and speaking to a member of our product support team. Call 800-835-0129,, we are available Monday thru Friday, 8a-5p CST. Thanks. **Q: what color wire is the parking lights** A: You can check out the Hopkins website for full installation instructions. The parking/tail light wire is Brown. White is Ground, Green is Right Turn and Yellow is Left Turn. Red is for the brake lights. www.hopkinstowingsolutions.com **Q: How to make this work with leds?** A: You need to wire in a resistor in the circuit or replace the flasher with one designed for leds. I have mine wired in normally which still works but the turn signals flash faster than normal which I just live with. Do a search on some motorcycle forums that is how I came up with mine. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly What I Needed - Excellent Replacement *by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2021* We have a 2001 Infiniti QX4 that has a hitch and trailer light socket. Our little Boston Whaler has been restored and the trailer was refitted with new LED lights. The lights tested perfect with a battery but one side would not light when braking. The turn signal on the same light worked so this was very puzzling. There was a box under the back end of the QX4 that converted the brake lights from the vehicle to use the signal lights in the trailer as brake lights. This was the only thing that could cause my problem of not lighting under braking one side. After an extensive search I found this item. There were lots of converters with cables and connectors which I did not need. This converter was exactly what I needed to fix my problem. The corroded old trailer lights must have blew something in the old converter. Replacing it totally made everything work! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to install *by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024* Solved my turn signal problem on my towed vehicle. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Installed it as soon as I got it *by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2024* It works! My trailer break lights didn’t work on my 2007 Chevy Silverado because the brakes and turn signals are on different wires. This solved it just fine! ## Frequently Bought Together - Hopkins Towing Solutions 48845 12" Bulb Tail Light Converter - Aaron 4Pcs 50W 6ohm Load Resistors - Fix LED Bulb Fast Hyper Flash Turn Signal Blink Error Code (Resistors get very hot during working) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/15417269-48845-12-bulb-tail-light-converter](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/15417269-48845-12-bulb-tail-light-converter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
