Got a Hopkins 46365 Short Proof Power Converter and need to install it next weekend. I looked at You-Tubefound nothing, even some pics of where others have installed similar things would be helpful(I'm one of those visible learners). Anybody know of anything? Thanks in advance.

Not sure what the 46365 is. When I did my '08, I used a Hopkins 5 to 4 powered converter, 20 amp fuse to the battery, and positaps to the wires for the lights. The converter fit above the rear wheel in the tail section. Soldered a long pigtail from the converter forward to the swing arm pivot and then tywrapped on the swing arm to a 4 wire flat plug screwed onto the hitch. Worked well for me for 3 years.
The powered converter isolates the trailer lights from the CanBus, so it doesn't throw codes.
