Thanks Tony, I have toyed with lights from car to car. The initial idea was to have my old 1957 Land Rover's lights come on in conjunction with its trailer. Mucking around with it, I could only get the parkers and brake lights to work but not the indicator.
The light board is far more useful I recon. Easo

Worth following up

When was thinking about tapping direct lighting from the towing vehicle to the towed vehicle. I toyed with the idea that if I run a 5 pin cable from the towing vehicle and plug the other end of the cable into the 5 pin outlet on the towed vehicle, the thought being that as the Jeep lights were already wired up to the 5 pin out. I did not test it to see if it may work in revers order. I chickened out and took the easy way and purchased the light board. Nice and simple and no problems.  Cheers Tony

 back in the UK we have a 7 pin socket on towing vehicles.I made up a lead with male connectors on both ends and plugged it into both 7 pin sockets thinking the lights would repeat on the towed vehicle. THEY DONT !!!!

More questions,
Rego, yes or no. Club or Full. Tight turning, does the steering still follow when conducting tight turns? Reversing, again how does the steering behave when going backwards? Length of A-frame, how did you decide on the right length? Breaks, do you have a set up for brake away brakes? Does it require them? What does a Jeep Weigh? Reason I ask, I have a 1957 Series 1 Land Rover and by doing it this way is so much more practical over a car trailer. I miss my car trailer. Regards Easo P.S. Look forward to seeing it at Corowa.
