[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 94630, member: 337"] no - as long as you realize that you then have to make sure that all the other lights also have their ground attached to the trailer or you can suffer crappy connections. I had a "folding" trailer that pivoted on the main frame - and the pin/pivot point of the trailer itself would get rusty and not properly conduct - so even my old trailer frame itself occasionally had bad conductivity. It was maddening. So I ran ground wires around the boat so each light had its own ground wire. I'm no expert - just sharing my trailer light woes. If you install a 7 pin just route "backup light" wire on trailer to "backup light pin" on 7 pin, etc. Forget colors - just go with pin positions using the chart I posted. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] keeping "vehicle side" and "trailer side" in mind. Easy peasy. [/QUOTE]
