The ones I seen so far are T connectors. There should be a place that unplugs by the rear and you put the T connector in. You plug the 2 stock ends into each side of it.

I had t connectors on my last outlander, however i have not seen any thing about the 2007. If you know where to get one let me know but when i bought the tailer hitch they said there wasnt a t connector harness out yet. I am probably going to install it this week some time and i will post the results.

Right turn signal - White with Gold trace found on car side of the passenger side tail light harness

Tail/parking lights - Brown with gold trace found on car side of the passenger side tail light harness

Brake lights - Red with silver trace found on car side of the passenger side tail light harness

Left turn signal - Green with silver trace found on car side of thedriver sidetail light harness

hmmmm. I am now considering getting one, though I dont think I would EVER use it. The rise on the OEM piece is alot, If I had to guess (and its only a guess) its got to be at least 4 inches... maybe a little more (guessing from the pictures I have seen.)
Though if it were me, i would just get a regular ball mount, a straight one, would seem to me, would be high enough, and still alow you to fully open the tailgate.

people using non-mitsu trailer lights may be in for an expensive surprise..
the mitsu kit uses its OWN circuit for power. Meaning, it does not pull amperage from the light circuits on the car to activate the trailer lights. The aftermarket ones do.
That may be a problem, as the lighting is all solid state controlled. Besides the possibility of just blowing a fuse, you may in fact damage the control circuitry for the lighting.
There is a reason the aftermarket ones are dirt cheap... They're usually crap.

etrailer.com has a wiring harness for the '07 Outlander. it is a T-one connector with a 4 pole flat for$29.95. Since the vehicle and body style are still 'new' it takes time before aftermarket acessories are made available. iam looking for a class II 1.25" reciever hitch but currently only a 2" reciever is available. i have no idea why this it takes so long.
