Wiring Harness
«

I hope that I have over-killed this question. I successfully put a hitch on my bike and completed the wiring to the trailer using a Hoppy harness. The mechanic that did the install, inadvertently threw away the info on the wiring harness. It was purchased from Walmart and did not require "engineering" the wiring. I cannot remember where I found the info, but I believe I found it on this site with instructions and pictures. Do you recall seeing this on this site? I would like to file this info for future reference.
The bulbs in the trailer are standard trailer lights. Concerned about the power pull from these bulbs, any thoughts on changing them out to LED?
Thanks.

I don't know anything about instructions, but trailor lights shouldn't draw enough power to be worried about. Headlights draw major power, tail lights not so much.

Assuming that the Hoppy setup has the box with the electronics in it, it will use power directly from your battery and only use the bike's turn/brake/running light circuits as triggers to switch the trailer lights. Unless the trailer has more lights than a typical small trailer, you shouldn't have problems.
