Hitch Plug Wiring Question

[zamboni]

I have a Ford oval hitch plug. When the headlights/taillights are on, it lights up blue. When brakes are hit- it turns red. Well, last night I got pulled over. Blue lights are illegal, and any lights that change colors is illegal. I was told the brake light portion is legal, so I figure I can clip the taillight wire, and keep the brake light part of it. My question is, which one is that? Kinda makes me sad, things pretty cool, but I really don't want to keep getting pulled over

I never seen an oval trailer plug, they are all round.

You must have some custom LED lighting, only option is to replace the rear trailer lights with standard LED lights where the taillight stays red but gets brighter when you apply brakes or a turn signal.

Valv I think what he means is that its a Ford "Oval" emblem that goes in his reciever, not the light connector itself. Its to bad they have to worry about stuff like that, but then again with no rules about what you can and cant do, who knows what stuff vehicles would run around with.

Anyway, if they are colored wires it should be the brown wire.

If you need to know which pin here is a pic.

Snip the brown wire and no more blue

Ok, ok, I've got it now. Sorry I am little slow anymore, when you reach the 49yo age and 5 children you loose a lot of "gray matter" inside your head.

Anyway, yes, cut the brown wire and it won't light up anymore when you have the lights on, it will just blink on each side turns or when brake pedal is pressed.
