Shane: Hey guys, Shane here with entrailer.com. Today, I have a 2018 BMW X5, and I want to walk you through how to install the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter Kit. This is going to give you your four pole connection, so you had all your proper lighting functions to, whether it's a trailer, whether you have a cargo carrier that where you had to move your license plate out to the back of it, and you need that license plate light, or even blinkers on those cargo carriers.Four pole connection is going to give you all those proper lighting functions. It's going to connect the factory wiring behind each tail light. Typically, this wiring harness is designed to be able to live inside the vehicle, and it would just run it right out the bottom side of the bumper here, when you're ready to hook it up. In our case here, our customer wanted it mounted outside the vehicle, which can be a little bit time consuming, but it can be done.You're going to have 4.2 amps per circuit for your stop and turn signals, 7.5 amps per circuit for your tail lights. What that means is if you have a few extra lights on your trailer that you're pulling, this is going to give you plenty of. your lights on your trailer are going to have plenty of brightness. We're not going to be drawing a whole lot of power from the vehicle.There is a converter box with this wiring, and what the converter box does is it protects the factory wiring on the vehicle from any backfeed from the trailer, if there's a wiring issue. Now that we've gone over some of the features, let's walk through how to get it installed. To start our installation, we're going to get in our hatch area. We're going to remove our two side panels and the one on the passenger side, one on the driver's side. On the passenger side, you just need to remove this.You don't need to remove the box that sits in the bottom. Then what we're going to do, we're going to reach in. We're going to disconnect the plug off our lights. All you're going to do is you're just going to push on that tip. Right down here in this bottom corner, you're going to have a grommet. It's going to be a plastic grommet. We're going to have to drill a hole in it to get our wires fed up, so we can make our connections onto the wires coming out of our tail light.And all we're going to do is we're going to drill a hole in it. Next, we're going to take an eight millimeter socket. We're going to remove these two bolts. Pull this back. You're going to take your shield, kind of pull it out like that. Our grommet is going to be straight out above our heat shield, right in this corner. We're going to take these five wires, green, black, brown, yellow, and red, and we're going to feed them up through the hole.We need to mount our converter box. It's going to come with some double sided tape, and we're going to put it in one side of our box, and you're not going to be able to see it, but right behind the heat shield, right on this side, there's a flat spot on the frame rail or on the under side of the trunk pan we'll be able to stick it to.Behind there.so what I did to make it a little bit easier for you to see where the converter box was, I took these two bolts out and pulled this part of the heat shield out, also. If we look straight up here, that's where the converter box is mounted. I'm going to take my ground wire. I'm going to ground it right there. You need to make sure.I'm mounting it here. You scrape off this coating that's on the frame rail. Make sure you're going to have good metal to metal contact.So, what I did, because my wires are coming through the grommet, they're not long enough to reach all the way up here, and I won't be able to put my compartment box back in, so I took the tape off on the wiring that runs right across the back of the body here. We determined through testing that the black wire, with the two white stripes, on our driver's side, is going to be our brake and turn signal.The gray wire, with the violet stripe, is going to be a running light signal. These are the two wires that we'll be tapping into on this side. I'll be using my brown wire for the gray, with violet stripe, and then the yellow for the black wire with two white stripes. What we're going to be using is quick splice connectors that come in your kit. What I'm going to do, I'm going to slide it on, take the appropriate wire, which is going
