How to wire up tow bar lights

[BeavisTJ]

So I'm moving house in the next couple of weeks and figured a trailer would help compensate for the TJ's lack of space.

I picked up a Hayman Reese towbar from a jeep wreckers installed no issues, does
anyone knows the torque specs on the mounting bolts?

And also the procedure for wiring up the connector plug for the trailer lights? I'm handy with a soldering iron just not sure the correct process.

Do I simply splice into the rear tail lights and piggyback off them to the plug? Or is there a need for something else? Can't for the life of me find any information.

Get a Plug N Play harness like this one. No cutting or splicing.

When I used to tow my CJ, I had a set of lights that i picked up at TSC... They plugged into the trailer plug and mag mounted to the Jeep.

Thanks for that however I don't think the Australian connections are the same for the trailer socket. May have to wire it up myself.
