Trailers, hitch setup and pinout
Can someone provide me the pinout or wire colors to either the two tail connectors or the main connector to the rear bumper?
Edit: let's use this thread to help others find setup info and stuff for trailers.

Also, the harness is not "plug and play" like the box states. I was expecting to unplug the tail lights, plug an extender and be done. You have to figure out which wire is which and splice into them. Not hard once you get past the overwhelming number of wires and just use a voltmeter to check each pin as you turn the lights, signals and brake on.
Guys at Leroy clued me into just going back to the basics. This is just a general GM converter, not specific to the Corvette or Leroy.

Purchased from Leroy trailer hitches. Only Fab work was to drill two 1" hole in the frame. Very easy with a stepped drill. Otherwise everything is provided.

Sorry for the misleading info on the harness. Leroy installed a generic one in my car which needed to tap the harness. I bought a backup that was supposed plug into the stock tailights, at least that's what it said. I never actually opened the box to look at it.
So which trailer did you wind up going with?

I'll get a picture today once they are mounted. I moved the 1 lone tire closer to the others so I can bind all 4 together or else it would be really top heavy by itself.

Yeah that little trailer is rated for 1000lbs I think. The Leroy trailers come with proper springs for lighter loads.
