Curt 56187 Powered 3-to-2-Wire Taillight Converter - 4-Way Flat

Add a standard 4-way flat trailer connector to vehicles with separate brake and turn-signal circuits. The powered converter combines the vehicle's 3-wire lighting system into the 2-wire configuration used by standard trailer lighting.

Why Choose the Curt 56187 Taillight Converter?

The Curt 56187 is a universal powered taillight converter designed for vehicles with separate brake and turn-signal circuits. It splices into the vehicle's rear lighting system and converts the 3-wire vehicle configuration into the standard 2-wire trailer lighting format used by a 4-way flat connector.

Surface-mount technology helps improve circuit durability while reducing resistance and heat generation. The battery-powered design also isolates trailer lighting demand from the vehicle's signal circuits for reliable trailer light operation.

Combines separate vehicle brake and turn signals for standard trailer lighting

🔌 4-Way Flat Output

Provides tail light, brake light, and left/right turn-signal functions

⚡ Powered Design

Uses a dedicated battery power connection for dependable trailer light operation

🛡️ SMT Circuitry

Surface-mount electronics help reduce heat and improve long-term reliability

Key Features & Benefits

  • 3-to-2-Wire Conversion: Converts separate vehicle brake and turn-signal circuits to combined trailer lighting
  • 4-Way Flat Output: Provides standard trailer tail, brake, and turn-signal connections
  • Powered Converter: Uses direct battery power rather than placing the full trailer lighting load on the vehicle signal circuits
  • 3.0-Amp Stop / Turn Capacity: Supports up to 3.0 amps per turn and brake circuit
  • 5.0-Amp Tail-Light Capacity: Supports up to 5.0 amps on the trailer tail-light circuit
  • Surface-Mount Technology: Helps reduce resistance, voltage drop, and heat generation
  • Color-Coded Wires: Simplifies circuit identification during installation
  • Snap-Lock Connectors Included: Provides convenient splice connections to vehicle lighting circuits
  • No Heavy-Duty Flasher Required: Designed to operate without replacing the vehicle's existing flasher
  • Rubber Dust Cover Included: Helps protect the 4-way flat connector from dirt and moisture when not in use
