I installed a hoppy wiring kit for my jeep that connected to the factory tailights, ect... few weeks later I was towing my boat at night and noticed that when I turn on my blinker the blinker on the trailer alternates with the blinker on the car when I am using the brakes. when the brake lights are ont on, the lights come on together. this seems strange and I was wondering if this is normal, or if i did something wrong when I installed it.

Classic bad ground symtoms. Been there, done it.<br />Check & clean all the connections. Even the light sockets.

Re: strange light problem

Was this a "plug in" type that taps the connector in your existing harness? I have found that the aftermarket brands are notorious for incorrect grounding.
