Default Module for LED trailer lights

OK Folks,
looking at getting a trailer with LED lights.
What do I need to do to stop the car detecting problems with the wiring because of the low power draw of the LEDs.
I can see modules for sale on the 'net for $375.

Is there a cheaper option??


Thanks in advance.

I believe you can use an adaptor harness for the Ranger (assuming you have a trailer module already), I'm sure I've seen posts about it here.

Edit: here's the one, looks like all you should need to know

LED's are touted as energy saving and long lived. Ford fix is to increase the energy consumption by adding a parallel resistor, which makes the LED look like an old school filament. FAIL.

The silver lining is you do get LONGER LIFE!
