Errr, why do you need to snip anything, just swap the bulbs :blink:

If wiring for civvy socket, just plumb in to junction box and leave NATO wiring in place

Or do what I did and just change the 12 pin military plug for a 7 pin civvy plug (and then swap the bulbs for 12 volt ones...!) Wires are as follows:

[Pin A] = wire #1 = Convoy = not used on 12N

[Pin B] = wire #2 = Stop = Pin 6 / Red

[Pin C] = wire #3 = Convoy = not used on 12N

[Pin D] = wire #4 = Earth = Pin 3 / White

[Pin E] = wire #5 = Tail = Pin 5 (RH Tail/Brown) & Pin 7 (LH Tail / Black)

[Pin F] = wire #6 = Fog = Pin 2 / Blue

[Pin H] = wire #7 = Convoy = Not used on 12N

[Pin J] = wire #8 = Stop = Pin 6 / Red

[Pin K] = wire #9 = Aux = Not used on 12N

[Pin L] = wire #10 = Earth = Pin 3 / White

[Pin M] = wire #11 = LH Indicator = Pin 1 / Yellow

[Pin N] = wire #12 = RH Indicator = Pin 4 / Green

I've had a couple of Sankey type trailers and done this with them all. The mil spec wiring is a lot better than the aftermarket civvy stuff - I'd be inclined to hang onto it.

Would this adapter from 13 pin to 7 pin work as well?

I'm not sure if the "european" 13pin is the same as the military 13 pin?

cheers
