Tail light wire color diagram/breakdown?
 

I bought a hitch and am looking for the tail light wire color codes for the trailer light hookup. Before you all start about the xB not towing, I AM.
Small trailer, less than 500 pounds.
I need to hook up the trailer lights.
Anyone have the color codes for the stop, turn, and backup?
I searched and can't find the wiring colors. I have a 3 wire to 2 wire converter.
The trailer is a standard 4 wire flat.
I did a amp install and real speakers and could easily find the wiring colors for than.

Thanks for you time!

I am looking for the same info. as you
I have the hitch installed and am asembling a small aluminum Trailex trailer and plan to carry only a kayak on it (55 pounds) The trailer will probably be less drag than putting the kayak on top of the xb as many people do.

I wish we can get some help on this subject. My hitch was made by Curt, and I understand they might supply the hitch to U-Haul. U-haul might be of some help with the wiring.

If you are into camping, check out my thread on converting the xb into a one person RV.
(xb conversion to mini camper) It has had over 2,700 interested viewers.

Scion owners, we neen your help, and we are not getting it! Put out the word.

Free spirit, I would like to hear from you. What hitch do you have, and what trailer and what load do you plan to put on it?

Sorry freemind, plus my spelling is not that great, I are an ingineer and that is to be expected.

what thread NO LINK>>NO PROFILE ??

umm.. page Tomas.... he has the wiring info for all things scion...lol... he should be able to pull it out ASAP for you... surprised he hasnt chimed in already actually..

did anyone ever find the wiring info for the tail lights?

Ive been searching and still have yet to find anything.... I want to add a new external break light to my box and dont quite see where I should splice in....

maybe splicing into the lights isnt the way to go? anyone know if theres something right off the fuse box to run a line from?

just throwin out ideas.

I would like to see a diagram also.. I need to rewire in order to get my LEDs working.

Peeps, I wired a 4 wire flat connector... I'm about to head out to lunch in a half hour or so, I'll post up with the wiring colours soon, hang in there.

It's easy to do though, if you wanted to just figure it out. I just used a voltage tester and worked the controls to see which is which (e.g. left/right turn, brakes and then wire the ground). Super easy. Anyway, I'll let u know.

I was thinking about doing that myself tonight... perhaps I still will if you are not able to post yours up today.

Thanks man.

Okay, here you go, first off, even though I know these are right, you better double and triple-check that you wired it up correctly and securely by testing your brakes, parking lamps and turn indicators BEFORE you take it on the road. I know, this goes without saying but I just want to CMA ya' know?

4-Wire Flat >>to>> Scion '05 xB
***********************
Left Turn >>to>> Green w/ Blk Stripe (left side)
Tail (Parking/Brake Lamps) >>to>> Green w/ Wht Stripe
Right Turn >>to>> Green w/ Yel Stripe (right side)
Ground >>to>> Ground

Happy towing... And definitely take it easy, these things aren't rated for towing and you want to be careful. I have successfully towed numerous times but I have always taken it super easy and it hasn't involved heavy loads or hill climbing.

So? How'd it work out then? Did u "git-r-dun" tonight?

This should help:
