With a 4-way flat terminal type, this wiring kit is designed for ease of use and maximum compatibility. Installation is required, but don't worry - we've got you covered. All the necessary mounting hardware is included in the package. The Blue Ox BX88279 EZ Light wiring harness is the smart choice for your RV-to-vehicle electrical connection needs.

Blue Ox is known internationally for recreational and commercial towing products, manufacturing in Pender, Nebraska since 1925. The line covers tow bars and vehicle-specific baseplates for flat towing behind a motorhome, sway control and weight distributing hitches, supplemental braking accessories and towing wiring, backed by patented designs and long-standing customer service.
Blue Ox has manufactured since 1925 and is recognised internationally for towing products and customer service. The company operates from Pender, Nebraska, where it grew out of Automatic Manufacturing Co., a business that started with cattle oilers and developed into agricultural equipment, tractor accessories and trailer towing hardware. That agricultural engineering heritage still shows in how the towing products are built, and the company holds patents across weight distribution, fifth wheel and tow bar designs.
Flat towing is the discipline Blue Ox is best known for. Towing a car with all four wheels on the ground behind a motorhome demands a system that stays rigid under braking, articulates properly over uneven ground, and connects to the towed vehicle at points strong enough to take the load. Blue Ox tow bars handle the first two, with self-aligning arms that latch under tension and release without a struggle when the load is off them. Vehicle-specific baseplates handle the third, engineered per make and model to tie into structural mounting points behind the fascia.
The wider flat towing range covers supplemental braking systems, safety cables and the accessories that make a complete legal setup, along with baseplate wiring and dinghy towing harnesses that pass lighting signals to the towed vehicle without back-feeding its electrical system.
For conventional trailer towing, Blue Ox weight distributing hitches with integrated sway control transfer tongue load onto the tow vehicle's front axle and resist the yaw that crosswinds and passing trucks induce.
The company describes its foundation as customer service, designing around what owners actually ask for, and it runs an RV park adjacent to the factory where customers can stay. Sister operations at the same Nebraska site include Automatic grain roller mills and MAD-RAMPS pivoting ramp systems.

The BX88279 is a wiring harness that integrates your vehicle's tail lights with an RV electrical system for trailer lighting control. It includes a converter box, wiring with yellow and green connectors, a 4-way flat harness, and grounding hardware to connect your towing vehicle to an RV.
The manual does not specify which vehicle makes, models, years, cab styles or bed lengths are compatible with the BX88279. Contact Blue Ox customer service at (402) 385-3051 or consult a fitment database before purchasing to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
The kit includes a converter box, wiring harness with yellow and green connectors, a 4-way flat harness, a 4-way flat bracket, double-stick tape for mounting the converter box, a white wire with ring terminal, a mounting screw for the ground connection, and dielectric grease. You will need to supply zip ties and either use the 4-way flat bracket or provide a trailer plug socket of your preferred style.
You will need a drill with a 3/32" bit, a screwdriver (for the grounding screw), zip ties, and a tool to clean the grounding area (wire brush or similar). A socket or wrench may be helpful for removing tail light fasteners, depending on your vehicle. The manual does not specify additional tools.
The manual does not specify whether battery disconnection is required. Contact Blue Ox customer service at (402) 385-3051 for guidance on this safety step before beginning installation.
The manual provides step-by-step installation instructions for a single installer. However, the manual does not explicitly state whether professional installation is recommended. If you are uncomfortable with electrical work, drilling, or removing tail light housings, contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051 or a qualified installer.
Mount the converter box on the driver side behind the tail light using the double-stick tape provided. Clean the area first to ensure good adhesion. The manual specifies this location but does not indicate whether alternative mounting locations are acceptable.
1. Disconnect the original wiring from both tail lights. 2. Plug the yellow-wire end of the wiring kit into the driver side tail light connector and vehicle wiring harness connector. 3. Route the green-wire end to the passenger side and plug it into the passenger side tail light connector and vehicle wiring harness connector. This allows the converter box to intercept and control both tail light signals.
Route the 4-way flat harness toward the front of the vehicle, securing it with zip ties as you go. Position the wiring harness between the tail light housing and vehicle body when reinstalling the housings. Secure all loose wiring to the vehicle with zip ties to prevent snagging or damage.
Mount the 4-way flat bracket or trailer plug socket in a convenient location at the front of the vehicle. The manual does not specify exact mounting height, angle or distance from the bumper, so choose a location that is easily accessible for trailer connection and protected from road debris.
Yes. You must drill a 3/32" hole for the ground wire connection. Locate a suitable grounding point near the front connector, clean away dirt, paint and rust proofing material, drill the hole, and secure the white wire with ring terminal using the provided screw. Do not drill into exposed surfaces, the vehicle floor or bed.
Drill a 3/32" hole for the ground wire connection. This hole accommodates the ring terminal on the white wire provided in the kit.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the front connector. The area must be cleaned of dirt, paint and rust proofing material. Do not drill into exposed surfaces, the vehicle floor or bed. Choose a solid metal location such as the frame or a structural bracket.
The yellow wire connects to the driver side tail light circuit, and the green wire connects to the passenger side tail light circuit. Together, they allow the converter box to monitor and control both tail light signals for trailer operation.
The white wire is the ground connection. It must be secured to a suitable grounding point on the vehicle using the ring terminal and mounting screw provided. A good ground is essential for proper electrical operation of the trailer lighting system.
Yes. You may either install the 4-way flat harness into the 4-way flat bracket provided, or cut off the harness plug and splice the wires into a trailer plug socket of your preferred style. Choose the option that best suits your towing setup.
Be careful not to break the alignment tabs or housing when pulling the tail light housings away from the vehicle. These tabs are fragile and breaking them may affect the fit or function of the lights. Work slowly and gently.
Dielectric grease prevents corrosion of the 4-way flat terminals, which can degrade electrical connections and cause lighting failures. A small amount should be applied to all terminals before connecting to the RV electrical system.
Connect the harness to the RV electrical system and test all functions with the engine running to ensure proper operation. This verifies that the converter box is correctly wired and that both driver and passenger side tail lights respond to trailer brake and turn signals.
Testing with the engine running ensures that the vehicle's electrical system is supplying proper voltage to the converter box and that all lighting functions work correctly under normal operating conditions.
The manual does not specify post-installation maintenance intervals or procedures. Contact Blue Ox customer service at (402) 385-3051 for guidance on periodic inspection and maintenance of your wiring harness.
The manual does not list specific vehicle compatibility. Contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051 or check a fitment database with your vehicle's make, model, year and cab style.
