However you define adventure -- whether it's climbing onto the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping with the family a long way from nowhere -- CURT class 1 hitches provide a light-duty towing receiver to help you Bring It Each is made to fit a specific vehicle, providing easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity Custom class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of smaller vehicle types, including the compact car, crossover, minivan and small SUV.

CURT 56175 Non-Powered 3-to-2-Wire Splice-in Tail Light Converter, 4-Pin Wiring Harness

Manufactured by: Curt

When your vehicle does not readily provide an electrical connection for hooking up your trailer, CURT electrical converts offer the solution Working tail lights on your trailer are absolutely essential any time you tow, and a converter provides an effective way to properly equip your vehicle for safe towing A CURT electrical converter, much like our custom vehicle-to-trailer wiring harnesses, provides a trailer connector on your vehicle by splicing into the vehicle's electrical system.

Electrical converters are designed to splice directly into the taillight wiring, rather than plugging into various sockets, giving them the nickname "taillight converters" Though it requires a little extra work compared to a custom wiring harness, a tail light converter offers a reliable, long-term connector solution This CURT electrical converter is designed to convert a 3-wire system to a 2-wire system and provides a standard 4-way flat connector socket to plug in your trailer.

It is designed to fit certain models of Acura, Audi, Buick, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Eagle, Ford, Geo, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Isuzu, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes, Mercury, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Oldsmobile, Peugeot, Plymouth, Pontiac, Saturn, Suzuki, Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see the CURT fitment guide at trailerjacks.com) This converter is made with cutting-edge surface-mount technology (SMT) circuitry, featuring electrical components that are mounted directly to the surface of the board rather than being inserted into a series of holes SMT circuits have longer life cycles, lower resistance, reduced heat generation and are more reliable than through-hole-mounted components..

Features:

• Converts 3-wire vehicle electrical system to standard 2-wire trailer wiring
• 4-way flat output connects tail lights, brake lights and turn signals
• Constructed with SMT circuitry for better performance and durability
• Color-coded wires for easier installation
• Snap locks included for fast, secure splicing
