Hey everyone!
I have been lurking around a bit just absorbing everything everyone has been posting. What better a first post than an "I need help" one. I have searched the forums, but nothing the specifically addresses this issue. Hopefully someone has used this product on a 2019 JLU or similar items and had to pick wires to tap ito.
Vehicle: 2019 JLU Sahara with LED package (third jeep)
Item: XKGlow 5th Wheel Light ( https://store.xkglow.com/catalog/pr...ke-running-reverse-and-turn-signal-functions/)
Problem: I must have incorrectly wired.
Before routing wires through gromments and the rear gate then to the right and left tail lights, I hooked it up with its supplied 4pin connector to the Jeep's 4pin input. The device worked. So I know it isn't the device which means it is operator issues.
It should be a simple and straight forward install. I am no stranger to wiring, but it has typically been with audio systems and computers. This guide gives 2 options to wire: 1) Plug the 4pin trailer plug and then wire a separate wire to the factory reverse light on the right tail light. OR 2) Hard wire into tail lights. I did not like the look of something plugged in to that plug with option 1, and wanted something more permanent and not as visible wiring wise.

- Left Light: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/JL-Wiring-Diagrams/LAMP-ASSEMBLY-TAIL-LEFT-connector-details.pdf
What I did:
Any ideas from anyone that knows this better than I do or someone who has installed this on the 19 JL before I cause too much damage to existing wiring, lol.
Thank you all in advance.
