Anyone know where to get a converter for cheap, or can I cut and splice a new one off of a different vehicle? Of I do that how will I know what wire goes to what? Im getting tired of not having trailer lights when I pull with my bronco. This is a 93 bronco 5.0 on 35s so I don't pull with it much but I'd like to have the correct light hook up. Most trailers have a 4 flat or a 7 blade this is a 6 round.

The adapter plug is cheap, like 12$ at any parts store. And the diagram is right on the cap of your plug, so you could splice into those wires and add a 4 pin connector.

White: Ground
Brown: Tail lights
Green: Right turn
Yellow: Left Turn

None of the parts stores have it that has 6 round prongs, all they have are 7 flat prongs.

Edit-7 round prongs

Must be just around here, I see them all the time. But you can still splice into your wiring and just attach a plug.

That may be what I have to do.

Haven't tried that... Does anyone else's truck have that plug? I've never seen one that big with round prongs.

Well, that is a 7 round plug. It has 7 connections in it. But it looks old style, my 7 round had flat terminals in it.

That's all I've ever seen was the flat until I got this truck.
