Works with LED lights... mostly
I added a dual swingout bumper to my truck, and the tire and jerry can carriers block the tail lights. The new bumper has cut-outs for the Roadvision 3-way lights, but did not come with wiring. Rather than tap the wires I decided to use the 7-pin trailer plug as it's plug-and-play.Pros:- Works (mostly) perfectly with the Roadvision LED lights. I can't guarantee it'll work with all LED lights but it does work with these.Cons:- The relay makes a fairly loud click each time it activates.- There is a small delay, maybe 100 milliseconds, when activating the brake lights. This is likely due to how long it takes for the relay to energize- With LED lights, the turn signals may start to light up before the relay activates. In my case when I step on the brake the turn signal lights have an almost imperceptible flicker before the relay activates and the brake light comes on. This wouldn't be an issue with incandescent lights, but the LEDs are so responsive that it happens. I'm not an electrical engineer but I suspect some sort of resistor or other way to slow the turn signal a fraction of a second would prevent this.Other:- I can't tell if the relay is waterproof so I ended up mounting it inside the vehicleOverall I'm happy with this device for my purpose, though if the relay ever fails due to the brief flicker I get described above I'd likely just remove this and tap the turn and brake lights.

Works perfect for separate brake and turn signals.
This little gismo is the easiest way to get a vehicle with separate turn signals and brake lights to function with a 4 flat trailer plug. In this instance I tied into the factory 1980 Toyota wiring to operate the factory tail lights for flat towing behind my Chevy 1500. The install is pretty self explanatory with the instructions on the face of the module. Remember to ground the input white wire when you wire up your 4 flat connector so the system doesn’t rely on the trailer ball for ground.

Works well
Can't really grade the adhesion, as I don't have it permanently mounted. The lights I use them for get mounted via magnets to the top of my Santa Fe when my mobility hitch carrier is secured upright, blocking my standard tail lights.
