Default Trailer wiring

I have all the stuff to wire the actual trailer, but where do I start on the car?

You can tap in behind the tail lights or the rear number plate, assuming we're on the same wavelength. Then you'll also see where to route the wiring.

Ok, on the car I have a wire for the taillights, one for each turn signal, and one for the brakes. On the pigtail, I have a wire for the taillights, and one for each turnsignal, and none for the brakes. What do I connect where?

If you don't have euro taillights, the turn signal wires from the car are the brakelights too.

Typically, treiler connections are...

Brown = taillight. Tap the harness to one of the taillight wires on the car.
Green = Right turn and braklight Tap the harness to one of the right brake/ts wires on the car.
Yellow = Left turn and brakelight, same as above, but tap into the left side.
White = ground, connect to frame or existing ground point..

If you have euro tails with seperate brake and turnsignals, you'll need a 3 wire to 2 wire adapter (commonly available at a parts store), unless you feel like fishing a wire up to the dash for this.
