there are diagrams showing how to convert the European wiring to suite US
vehicles on my website "useful info page" and on my links to cobra trailers.
(From memory.....double check this)
actually converting the wiring is quite simple....the US 4 pin (flat plug)
wires are White, Brown Yellow and Green, the European trailer plug has all
these colors plus extra's for the separate amber and red lights.....connect
all of these 4 colors to the US connector, add the black wire from the
trailer to the brown wire, disregard the rest.....remove the tail light
lenses and disconnect the top bulb wire and connect it to the bottom bulb
(dual function bulb) leaving the top bulb disconnected and the original wire
from the bottom stop/turn bulb disconnected and you should have running
lights,side markers lights and stop and turn signal lights from the lower
bulbs.
again....double check this but I think this is going to work on almost any
European trailer with these separate amber and red tail lights..
also....even if you have a US vehicle that has separate amber and red tail
lights (most newer ones do today) the trailer wiring is set up for 99.999%
of the trailers in the USA that have only combination stop/turn signals!
And though some might want to put European trailer connectors on their tow
vehicles this is a really bad idea and something that we tried back in the
1970's to discourage since sometime you may need to have someone pull your
trailer to come get you out of a field and unless we all use a standard 4
pin plug there is little chance that you and you pal have the same connector
set ups.

Picking up a new Cobra trailer at the port on Tuesday......wondering if I
can expect just to plug it into my SUV motorhome and have the lights
working correctly? Anyone with a success story ?

Trailer and SUV are both fitted witht the new large plug and receptacle.

Thanks!
