Amber lights on a Toyota

My youngest son has a 1992 Toyota Fourunner and needs to install a hitch and wiring. I have offered to help him but he has learned from two different hitch installers that it has "amber lights" that will require some special installation techniques. I am unfamiliar with this and wondered if anyone else has an idea what these are. The hitch people want at least $240 for the job, and I know I can buy a hitch for around $90 minus the wiring harness (should I decide to use one).

Amber lights on a Toyota

This seems totally amazing to me. Who would have thought wiring a flat trailer light plug would be that complicated these days. I guess I really lucked out when I purchased the plug-in harness for the 2000 Tacoma I had. The only reason I did that was I just did not want to screw around testing and splicing like I have done for myself and anyone else that has asked me to for the last thirty years. Had I gone ahead and done the Toy like I have done other vehicles, I would have ended up with turn signal and running lights but no brake lights. I normally test for left and right turn as well as running lights. Once you have that, the brakes on the single light system are a given. As soon as I went looking I am sure it would have hit me, but the solution may not have been so obvious. If you have just one particular unit you are towing, seperate lights are an option. My utility trailer was set up like that until one set of lights rotted away and I changed it to single lights. There used to be a hot wire from the brake light switch under the dash that you could tap into for just brake lights, or for an auxilary brake unit. I suppose all that has changed as well? It's still not rocket science, it was the termonolgy that threw me.
