No problem.

The old plug has two brown wires. The brown is for running lights. The two brown wires just make it easier to run one down one side and the other down the other side of the trailer, to the lights.

With the new plug, you'll just have to connect the two brown wires (on the trailer harness) to the brown on the new plug.
