Read On...
This is the way the trailer lights will now work...
- The red lights are now only running lights...
- The yellow lights are now both stop and signal lights ...
- Both yellow lense as on right trailer will now have to be changed to red...
- Or light will need to be changed to red if a sealed oblong light like above or round light like below is on trailer...All States, brake light must be red...
-
- IF left signal is on and brakes at same, the signal will flash and opposite lite will stay on, on the outside lights...
- The inside red lights is now only running lights...
- Lights will not work if #6 above red wire is connected in any way...
-
Important Notes:
- I use in line crimp found at any automotive or department stores, as well as heat shrink...
- Try and use greese filled style crimps... If you can.t, than put a little greese on wires, or vaseoline...
- Greese keeps moisture from wires which saves problems later...
- Sleeve heat shrink on wires before crimping...
- If no heat shrink, than tape with good plastic tape...
- All States and Canada... Yellow can not be used for stop lights... That is why lights have to be changed to red from yellow or amber...
Time Out Trailers 2012 & newer has added a 5-wire flat plug on all their trailers with all red lights on back...

- With the 5-wire plug and 5-wire on bike or car you have separate outside running lights and separate brake lights...
- Inside lights are your left and right turn signal
-
- This trailer plug can now also plug into a 4 wire tipical truck plug on most trucks or vehicles with no separate signal lights...
- The lights with a 5-wire on trailer into 4-wire on vehicle will now work like this...
-
5 Wire Plug to 4 Wire Plug. How it will work.
5 wire plug on trailer with 4 wire on vehicle.
- With 5 wire plug, this means you have seperate lights on trailer to operate each signal light. Other light is a running light and brake light, each side. signal lights can be either red or yellow.

- Your yellow wire is left turn signal and also your brake light.
- Green wire is right signal light and also your brake light.
- When 4 wire is plugged into 5 wire all lights on back of trailer must be all red. Can not have yellow used as a brake light.
