Review on Hopkins 48845 12 Tail Light Converter: Efficiently Converts Tail Light Signals with Ease by Chris Hayes

Revainrating 1 out of 5

tested on the stand, i can't get it to work, i'm throwing it away.

I'm not the biggest jerk when it comes to electrical car systems but I can't get this thing to do anything useful. Bench tested before doing anything on my bike and I'm glad I did. On the 5-wire side, I can power each of the brakes, L-turn, R-turn, and get absolutely no voltage on any of the wires on the 4-wire side. Applying voltage to the brake cable on the 5-wire side results in voltage at L and R on the 5-wire side! This means my front turn signals now come on when the brake light comes on! There is nothing wrong with this device. Goes in the trash.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • There are downsides
