If you buy the $30 kit at FLAPS for a 4 wire system it will include the
wiring kit. There will be two options for you at the FLAPS and the cheaper
one will not be what you need. You need one for the euro config and it
should have a diode based connector for proper config otherwise you brake
and turn signal will not operate independantly if I recall. Went through
this on both my eurovan and vanagon and did one wrong last fall.
