    4-pin to 4-pin & 7-pin?

    I went with a wired brake controller, very simple and straight forward to install. My trailer loaded is under 2,000lbs loaded, but has electric brakes. I also added the "hot" wire to charge the camper battery.

    Headlight Dark Spots

    Yes that sounds like my issue. If its indeed made that way, not a good design, at least from the drivers perspective, ill see if it can be adjusted. I would be less concerned about it if a replacement bulb with was still still $10 instead of thousands!

They look much better on the Bronco and are a three peak rated. They worked excellent in the snow last winter and off road. they are...
