Do these exist? I'm not interested in spending a hundred and something dollars and that's all I seem to see talked about on here. I do not have the LED lighting so I think I can just tap into the factory tail light wires. I've done this many times before in years past without issue, but it would be nice if there was something that I could just plug into the factory harness without physically splicing. I have some really nice wire taps and will likely go that route.

I'll be doing a 7 pin, legit harness in the future. But right now I HAVE to tow my popup off of my property ASAP. I'm about to close on my house. If there was a reasonably priced one I could have over-nighted (amazon) I would. Otherwise I'll just do my own wiring. I already have the plug and wires.

Thoughts?

I see the 70 to 80 dollar harnesses as well. I have zero interest in running a cable to the battery to power two 4 watt trailer light bulbs. Although I could just tap into the rear cigarette lighter power. But....
....what is the deal with the little black box that comes with all of the harnesses I see? I could see something like that and the extra power wire being needed on the LED Jeeps, but I cant understand why a normal 12 volt, incandescent system would need this. Whatever it even is lol.

Are the JK tail light plugs the same as the JL? If the connectors are the same I'd just score one of those. Any luck there?

Curt has one for around $60 or $70. Plug and play other than running a wire to the battery.

I believe if anyone needs a brake controller for their trailer brakes better look up to see if the weight they are towing is within the factory recommended towing weight rating as specified for their particular model vehicle. Trailers are not normally equipped with a braking system that weight less than 3,000 pounds and if you are towing over 3,000 pounds you may be beyond the towing limit with a Jeep.

I have the Curt 56407, purchased from Amazon. No problems with it. I have LED lights so i did run the power wire up to the battery. The trailer i tow has LED lights as well. No fast blink and no issues. Have used the harness for about a year seems to be good quality.
Lol. Thanks for the response. I posted that back in 2019 and my current Jeep has the tow package.
