Not on a '25, but I just installed one on my '24 Tremor. "Tow" or "Non-Tow" won't make a difference; it plugs into the taillight harnesses. Works awesome, very bright.

It should fit 2025 (same tail lights as 22-24), but you need a hitch to mount the hitch light.

EDIT: The tail connector keying and pinout changed for 2025. See reply #16.

It has a hitch, had to modify the connectors to get them to plug into each other and having an issue with the bottom turn signal bulb not working.

If you have 360 and BLISS
Does the hitch light disable the Bliss system?

Modify the connectors? I do not see them listing 2025's yet for the hitch light. Did you contact them before ordering, or just decide to take a chance?

Are you saying that the key was wrong on the connectors? If I recall correctly, it should be [EDIT: for 2022-2024 only] Key C, which is a medium gray housing color. If the key was wrong, please shoot DD an email and let them know.

On 2022-2024, both tail light bulbs are powered by the same wire at the connector, so that is 100% a coincidence. It's likely a bad bulb. [They are powered separately for 2025].

It does not. It taps into the tail lights, which bypasses the automatic trailer detection at the hitch connector.

Are you saying that the key was wrong on the connectors? If I recall correctly, it should be Key B, which is a light gray housing color. If the key was wrong, please shoot DD an email and let them know. I don't work there anymore, but it still bothers me when they let their suppliers mess up.

They keys were just slightly off on both sides preventing it from sliding together. I filled them off and it snapped right together. Was thinking bulb could just be out from doing the install. I contacted dd and they said the 25 wasn't a sure fit.

Took a chance since everything looked to carry over from the 24s

Like Sticks mentioned, what color are the '25 connectors? Like these?

Looking at old pictures of the connectors, it should be Key C -- medium gray color. I corrected my original comment. HRG's picture should be correct.
