Two types of trailer wiringCURT offers two types of custom trailer wiring: custom wiring harnesses and custom wiring connectors. Both are made for specific vehicles, and both require zero cutting or splicing. |
Custom trailer wiring harnessesA custom trailer wiring harness (also known as a ‘T-connector’) is designed to ‘T’ into your vehicle’s taillight assembly. This simply requires access to the taillight wiring. |
Custom trailer wiring connectorsA custom wiring connector uses a single plug to plug into a designated OEM socket on the vehicle. Not all vehicles are equipped with this socket, but it does make installing very easy. |
Both vehicle-specificEach custom trailer wiring harness and connector is made for a specific make and model, featuring the necessary components to provide a standard trailer wiring output. |

Optimum light intensitySMT is manufactured with automated processes for maximum consistency and the highly efficient circuitry promotes optimum intensity and life for the trailer light. |
Durable performanceSurface mount technology is able to better withstand shaking and vibrations, conditions that are common while towing, compared to traditional through-hole-mount tech. |
Product Description
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Toyota Prius (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

I used a US to EU Trailer Light Converter 4-Way Flat Connector (US Vehicle) to 7-Way Round Plug (European Trailer) with it.
Great instructions with pictures specific to my car made it easy to install this wiring harness in my 2010 Prius Five. There was plenty of wire to reach all the places needed to plug it in. The directions suggest finding a screw for attaching the ground terminal but I could not really locate any that would work in the area so took it directly to the negative side of the battery. Installation took close to half-an-hour.
I opted not to run mine out through the rubber drain plug under the spare tire as I could already see a little corrosion built up there. I wanted to keep the plug end and the underside of the spare nice and clean. Instead, I just run it out the hatch door when I use it. It pinches firmly enough in the rubber gasket to hold it in place but not too much to damage the wire. I do need to remember to stay clear of the latch in the middle when I feed it out toward my trailer tongue.
It was such a great feeling of satisfaction when I plugged this into my trailer lights and everything worked the way it should. If only all of life could be as simple and fulfilling.
First, the double sided tape had zero stickiness.
Second, the zip ties are a bit short and feel extra cheap.
Third, and not the kits fault, getting the plug fed through the grommet hole and out of the vehicle was really annoying and took the most time. Hooking everything up was 10 minutes, getting the plug out took a solid hour.
Overall, it works well and you should buy it. I installed it on a 2010 prius.
I did mine a little different, I removed rear bumper and on the side by the battery there is a tiny painted rubber plug. I cut a hole in the rubber plug and cut the trailer wires to run through the plug, then reattach the wires with butt connectors and electrical tape.
Ran the trailer connector behind along the rear of the car to the hitch and reinstalled the bumper. Now the 4 pin trailer connector is near the trailer hitch at all times ready to be used. Car looks clean and you see no wires when using the 4 pin.
If you are just tossing into the storage or were the spare tire is make sure your using the rubber cover so you don't short out the device and pop a fuse when the metal 4 pin nipples touch metal.
One thing I didn't like and changed was the red wire with the fuse going to the battery, from what I saw every wire is copper but this part (red fuse wire) is CCA wire.
CCA is cheap wire and if not installed properly or fused correctly will build heat and melt and maybe cause a fire before the fuse pops. My battery was relocated somewhere else so I need to cut fuse wire to extend it to the battery, luckily I have copper fuse wire and use that instead of what supplied.
So again use the rubber cover to protect the pins from making contact with metal. Use the proper fuse don't go larger if the fuse is popping and check the work. See if the red wire to the battery isn't loose same with ground wire. With ground sand the paint off so you have better contact to metal.
If ground and positive is fine and the fuse pops, it's maybe whatever is connect to car. Don't use large then 10 amp fuse, those wires will melt and maybe catch fire.
I was going to install with out this but the factory wires to the rear lights are so tiny and fragile, the trailer or whatever will put a strain on your factory wires.
