how would i go about hooking up trailer lights to a 96 lx?

 

anyone.. i just need the connector to hook up to it so i can have the trailer lights. I need left and right turn signal, brake lights.

 

Even though a small car like a Honda does not usually tow a trailer, there might be available a plug-in kit that connects to your wiring harness at the back of the car. Try auto parts store where they have hitches and receivers. If it is not available you will have to splice into the wiring at the rear of the car.

 

thanks, i'll look into that. I'm not really going to tow.. but i like having the option if i really have to

 

hey I don't know if you got it or not, but the 97 accords have a trailer lighting connector in the trunk. Should be in the left tail light..

Black= Ground
Backup light= Green/black
Left Turn Signal= Gree/blue
Right Turn Signal= Green/Yellow
Break Light= Gree/White
Taillight= Red/Black

(all pulled from Accord manual)

 

confirmed....

I opened up the access panel in the trunk & whallah!

I saw a trailer light connector sitting inside!

 

who says hondas cant tow? lol my brother used to tow a 20ft bow rider with an inboard/outboard. (= heavy *** boat) he had an 88 accord LX-i

Honda's cant tow? yeah right! hahaha

 

there is a connection for a trailer on the 5th gen accords I have one on my 94

thanksss. I probably wouldn't tow.. and if i do its going to be like 500 lbs. I just don't trust my car towing too much seeing its 10 years old and not really meant for towing. I just like having the option

 

It'll tow up to 1000lbs no problem. Only thing you really need is a trans cooler for your auto.

I use a cargo carrier on my '94 and i would not even think twice about towing a small trailer with a simple fishing boat

 

how do you hook up a tranny cooler?

 

2 ways:

u can hook up one of the lines from the trans to the radiator & link the cooler "in series"

pro: in cold winter months, you'll have the benefit of warming up that fluid via the radiator tank...

other way is to undue the lines going to the radiator & hook both of them up to the cooler as a stand-alone unit: which is then, normally mounted in front of the AC condensor

PRO: when you have an overheating cooling system, your tranny won't bite the dust as well...

I like the 1st option though
