Hi folks! I was wondering if anyone here would know if the rear taillight wiring on a '16-'17 GSW is the same as a '15 GSW? Reason I'm asking is that Tekonsha #118730 wiring harness is a plug-n-play model for a '16-'17 GSW,not a '15. I was wondering if something on the TDI model is different, as I can't find a plug-n-play harness for the '15.

Well,being no replies I guess I'd be the guinea pig and ordered the Tekonsha #118730 kit. Just got it in mail today-$62.99 on ebay. I'll post back after I try to install with results.

Thanks. I am following, as I am looking to do the LED conversion, along with the rapid blink feature to my 15 SEL

Well, sending the #118730 back. There is an extra brown wire on one side, so I'll probably go with the #118646 and move the yellow and green wires, as someone did in another thread.
