Re: hooking up trailer lights
The best way would be to purchase the plug and play harnesses for this. That way you do not butcher the wiring on your wing.

Agreed. But.......
The link is for 2012 and up won't work with his 2010.

Re: hooking up trailer lights
This says 2010. Maybe help? If not I would go directly to Show Chrome and talk to them. They seem to have this down. themainviking has the right idea here. Wonder who is the secondary viking?

$69 is a bit pricey for some wire and a thingy, but so are 1800s.

'02 GL1800 lives in Dawsonville, GA now.
My son is going to enjoy it for many years to come.
Re: hooking up trailer lights
I tried to do without an adapter on my '02 1800, the bike's wiring cannot carry the additional load to properly make the standard 4 wire stop lamps light up.
I bought the Isolator relay harness and the 5 to 4 wire adapter so the job can be done correctly.
that way, the trailer's lights are powered directly from the battery at full voltage.
and the relays isolate the lights from the bike's wiring.
it is plug and play, simple instructions, and worth every penny.
I bought mine from CycleMax.... just be sure to order the correct Isolator for your year model bike. there are two versions.

Somebody from Norway who signed up to the site and never came back. His nic is "Viking" so I could not have it. Ergo, "the main Viking" because I am here.Hoosier Jack wrote:Wonder who is the secondary viking?
