Looking for an adapter on 2018 silverado

[Josh.]

Looking for an adapter . Wife got me an led brake bar strip and I want it to be hooked up right and not have to plug it in every time I want to use it. Any help would be great. Also don't no which plug it would be.

Here is the Curt adapter that was mentioned

The cheapest I saw it was here

This is what I used. The 5 way drops the reverse wire too. Just cut the 4 way and 5 way  plugs off and connect the 5 wires

That makes it easier than the 4 wire adapter I posted above...

 

Just a thought, couldnt you  leave the 4 wire and 5 wire connectors attached, plug the 4 wire from the light bar into the 5 flat from adapter and then just pick up a male bullet connector to attach to the light bar reverse wire and then plug that into the last slot on the 5 flat on adapter? It appears that the blue reverse wire on adapter is in last (5th) position. IIRC, the first 4 wires in a 5 flat are set up identical to a standard flat 4 wire...

You could. But I wanted as weatherproof as possible. I clipped both connectors off. Ran the 5 wires up in a pretty good diameter heat shrink tube.. Took those butt connectors with heat shrink on each end and connected the wires and shrunk them. I then slid the big piece down over every thing and shrunk it. Then tied every thing up out of the way.
