Review on 🚦 Hopkins 48925 Tail Light Converter: 4-Wire Flat Extension for Enhanced Lighting Performance by Robert Xayamonty

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great but causes cruise control to cut out

First of all if I had read the FAQ above I would have seen that the manufacturer recommends a power converter for my car. Probably due to an issue I discovered. I'm using it on a 2004 Vibe and it works, but my cruise control cuts out every time the turn signal comes on. I assume it will work the same way on Vibe's sister cars: Toyota Matrix and Toyota Corolla. I bought it to replace a broken plug and play device. Having previously had a plug and play unit, I had connectors to plug into the factory wiring. Otherwise I would have to use splices and change the factory wiring. Since I was replacing the bad block, I simply cut the wires on the bad block and crimped a 6-pin Deutsch, also purchased from Revain. Since I rarely tow, I just unplug this Deutsch plug when I'm not towing.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Protection
