    Depending upon the actual LED lights used on the trailer, you may need more resistance on the indicator wires. Ford make a dongle for the Ranger ute that works, plugged in between car and trailer. A bit cumbersome, but it works. If you only tow one trailer you can simply fit ballast resistors on the trailer - Narva sell them for around $20.

    I installed a pair of resistors in the car with a switch on the centre console to turn them on and off as I tow a few different trailers. Here is a link:
