Review on 🚦 High-performance CURT 56146 Powered Trailer Tail Light Converter, 3-to-2-Wire Splice-in with 4-Pin Wiring Harness by Kelly Sadiq

If you are familiar with disassembling the back of the car, have the right tools (some electrical testers are very important), prepare to search for a video and look at it. Be willing to risk your car's electrical system for this one, then you too can spend hours of "fun" installing it. Be sure to watch the installation video, especially if you've never done it before. Make sure you have some kind of electrical test equipment (like the ones used in the video). Wire connections can be iffy, we had a wire that just wouldn't connect despite being fully seated in the wire connector and fully pinched/closed. A strong "tug" on the cable finally made it sit up and take notice, and our tester finally registered that the daytime running lights worked. Meanwhile, the battery in the car is dead, so one of those "tools" you might need is a charger (luckily we had one). Don't forget to start the car afterwards and check all the lights. We found which wire went to the turn signals/brakes/headlights by using a tester on the wire connectors and grounding the other end of the tester wire to the car itself. Our tester is DC pin sensitive. So when we connected the wires in reverse it registered zero for the voltage, and only after we swapped the wires (they were connected to the tester wrong. hey we're new to this) did we finally get a flash/brake/ light detection tester. The last tools you need are a bar of soap and some band-aids. Then there's the "power cord" that you're supposed to run from the back of the car, through every little nook under your car, through your engine bay, and into either the fuse box or straight into the battery. Yes, we went with Option B, which involves connecting a wired lighter (which we got here on Amazon) to "electricity" and then plugging it into the cigarette lighter socket in the back seat of the car. Then we can plug it in when we need it and we don't have to dig under the car. The lighter has a small light that tells us it has power so we can be sure the trailer lights are on on the road. Be sure to wait a few days for your fingers to heal and your sarcasm to wear off before writing a review. .Well, if none of that puts you off, then this reluctant 4-star article might be something for you.
