I think that you end up needing one of them wiring devises that converts from 4 wire tail lights back to 3 wire.
I think you mean a 5-wire to a 4-wire magic device. Wal-mart has then for less than $20.
Expensive. But very nice! Good protection the j-box too.My thinking is, it's cheaper to do it the right way first.
That's a lot of really good answers. Thanks, everybody. The powered converter sounds like a good idea. Would my trailer lights need diodes to prevent backfeeding to the bike wiring?No. The powered converter is also an isolator. Good kit.

The shortest route to Grandma's house is not not take any short cuts.In the case of wiring, don't take any 'short curcuits' either.
I bought an adapter at the local autozone similar to this http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Reese-Tail-light-converter-with-60-in-wire-and-4-way-connector/_/N-262o?counter=2&itemIdentifier=182754_0_0_Had you bought the power module, you would not have to deal with replacing both flashers and the extra load on your fragile J box.

Hope it works out for you.
Just went and looked. The unit I have is made by Hoppy. I ride daily and the trailer is almost always hooked up. It has been working fine for about a year. I am running all led's on the trailer. The only bulbs on the bike that I haven't switched to led are the headlight, the front turn/running lights, the rear turn signals (Electrical Connections conversion kit installed) and the license plate light.Oops! My bad. Didn't even think of the LED angle.
