Hm I'm not sure, if I have something, but I can discribe.
Meanwhile I resolved the issue by using the functionality provided by my German Trailer Tow module. But this required cutting the rear turn signal wires and attaching a wire to the brake wire and the vehicle tail light
Let me discribe what is needed for a trailer:
yellow turn signal (21 Watts each side)
yellow hazard lights
red stop light (21 Watts each side)
running lights right --> light forward has to be white, backward red, side yellow (5 or 10 Watts)
running light left --> light forward has to be white, backward red, side yellow (5 or 10 Watts) (I have not seperated these two, I have only one running light wire for left and right)
white backup light (21 Watts, only one light somewhere required, two on bothe sides are okay), for small trailers its okay to have no backup light.
red Fog light, Vehicle rear fog light needs to go off. 21 Watts. only on left side required, both sides are okay.
Furthermore you need an indication for broken trailer turn signal bulbs. My trailer tow module does this and the frequency goes up at the vehicle (this is the reason for cutting the rear turn signal wires and re-route them over the trailer module).
