On my 2005 CRV, I installed the Blue Ox light system by drilling the tail lenses and installing the 2 filament bulbs which run off a 4 wire trailer harness. That and the base plate installation went fine but now I am a bit perplexed by the wiring. The MH has a 7 way plug that I stepped down to a 6 way adaptor and ran a 6 pin wire to the Toad. I am using the 12 V pin for charging but can't figure out how to wire turn signals, lights and brakes without using the 3 to 2 converter. Am I mssing something? Thanks, Tim

These plugs are color coded so it should be a simple matter of matching colors. Use this guide for the colors.

Thanks Ivy. Got it figured out last night. Had the tail light (brown wire) to the wrong location on the plug. All set.
