Taillight Converter, & Trailer 7-Way Connector.
Stock Engine Bay-
Upgraded battery setup to accommodate new electrical components-
Due to OEM cables having no extra slack and to make everything "OCD" clean I installed Cole Hersee Feeder Studs on aluminum plate. Also, installed Deka 2/0 Jumper Cables and new 4gauge Ground Bonding Strap-
Tip- New larger ground fixed my intermittent problem where alarm/central locking would not always completely flick close certain doors.

New Battery Neutral/Ground, Accessory Hot, Trailer Charge, Trailer Brake, & Car Stoplight Line-
Stoplight tied-in at Connector ID2 per FSM using T-Tap Connectors.
New Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller-
I mounted controller beneath ashtray as I will not consider drilling/hacking into my dash et cetera; it seemed to be the perfect location and angle to mount it. To put it back to stock; I simply undo wing nuts/remove bracket, unplug connector/tuck behind ashtray-
Looks clean and in easy reach of controller's manual lever-
Ran neutral & hot through to rear corner for future accessories-
Back-Up Light tied-in at R-B wire per FSM using T-Tap Connectors.
