Paul,

Way back when, when the Honda S2000 debate was just a speck on the horizen,
you gave Jason the wiring for trailer lights on his '99.  I'm about to do
this in preperation for a putting a 40" x 48" utility trailer from Harbor
Freight together to haul my new R-DOT tires & wheels for AutoX :-)  (maybe
I'll only be 4 secs. out in CSP now!)

Prey tell, what is a "Hoppies isolator"?  And where is it installed?

TIA
