Can you be a bit more specific in your post, which lights? Interior, Tail lights, exterior, toad lights, ect.

I have a trailer to tow. The trailer is already wired for stop light and blinkers. I need to wire a female plug to the camper lights to connect the two.

Hope this helps, but if you don't have a 7 pin on your TV you should probably get one installed.

You would need a 4 pole knock out wiring harness and a few quick splicers.
brown wires work the running light circuit
yellow works left stop/turn signal
green works the right stop/turn signal
white works the ground circuit of the trailer.

This will give you all of the taillight signals on a 4-way that you would need for your small utility trailer to plug into and function properly

you would pick your wires up somewhere in the back, not knowing your unit I can not tell you exactly where.

A 4 point harness provides about 5 foot of wire (distance) to work with.

Let us know what your TV is and where/how you connected the 4-wire flat.

From a previous post, he "want buy a hitch for the back of my 5th wheel. I want to haul a swivel wheel trailer for my golf cart. Any ideas of what kind of hitch I need ?" Apparently he now has a hitch that wasn't originally on the back of his 5th wheel and hopefully it got welded in place correctly and didn't void any warranty.

One word of caution to the OP... this is called double towing and isn't allowed in many states.
