Scott, thanks again for the advice. Given the fact that this is all new to me I believe that the prewired harness with the diodes would be best for me. There is 1 thing with harness that I'm not sure about. Why does the Harness have 4 pin connection and connecting to RV is 7.

Larry,
The most basic of toad lighting is the same for everyone. And that utilizes only four wires. Typically:
1. Tail/marker (aka "Running lights")
2. Right turn/brake
3. Left turn/brake
4. Ground.
That's the primary four needed for any toad.
The 7 pin setup in about 99.99% of the RVs out there consist of:
1. Tail/marker
2. Right turn/brake
3. Left turn/brake
4. Ground
5. 12VDC + wire for charging toad batteries, trailer batteries, etc.
6. Back-up (for backup lights on trailers)
7 Electric brake wire (typically for magnetic trailer brakes on various trailers
Hope this helps some.
Scott
