RT Trailer light hook up

[RanHag]

Northern Tool has a 5-4 conversion setup for trailer wiring to non-american vehicle. Its only 19.95. The only concern that I have is that it just utilizes the power from the spyder's on light wiring. Is there a need for seperate power hook-up or will this be an acceptable hook-up?

Not sure I understand you fully but, if you're saying it would circumvent BRP's trailer wiring harness. In short - don't do it.

My spyder doesn't have the traler harness installed. I purchased a non-BRP hitch and trailer and want to wire it. The Spyder uses a separate wire for each tailight adn another for the brake light or in other words a 5 wire system as compared to most american systems of 4 wire.

FYI on trailer wiring. I just picked up my trailer from USA minitrailers. I used the 5-4 wire hookup and wired it directly to the wires around the rear trunk. The lights on the trailer are LED and the wiring works great! I have both signal, brake lights and running lights. Very happy!:yes:
