Trailer connector to power side marker lights (on Tremor)?

[Solodriver]

Has anyone tried using the trailer connector to power side marker lights?
I wonder if it is possible to locate the trailer connector wiring closer to the front of the truck and piggyback the power for the lights, turn signals, and 4 way flashers.
Could maybe redneck it and just plug the lights into an extended pig tail that plugs into the receptacle.

Insomnia is a bitch.

If you power anything from the trailer connector, then the truck thinks a trailer is connected.

It will disable blind spot monitoring and backup sensors.

If the lights power draw is very low, as they should be for side markers, then you could tap the front side marker or rear parking lights instead.

All excellent points. Thanks.

Can I ask what you're trying to accomplish?

Trying to get side marker lights to work with the Tremor package. Seems none of them will work due to complex wiring for the LEDs up front.
