Come on guys. Give it up.Go back a reread some of the posts he was replying to, and what he replied with. Pretty sure this never said the actuator is on the truck:

4 wires there should be!There is only one wire besides the ground wire. So the signal for all the functions has to go thru that wire. Right?
Also on LED trailer lights I think it is the number of LED's that are lit to distinguish between the various functions. (dim and bright, blinking etc)
I understand the seperate filaments in incandescent lights but, again, how the signal for seperate filaments is sent thru the one wire. (different voltage?)
Yes, four wires at the connector. White is common or ground, brown is running (tail) lights, yellow is left side flashing and green is right flashing. My trailer harness has just the two wires going to each light.4 wires there should be!
Hmmm. Maybe now we're getting somewhere!The tail-stop-turn trailer lights I've seen with 2 wires were grounded with the mounting bolt. One wire was tail, the other was stop-turn.

I see 3 on those units in the amazon picture. White is gnd, low brightness is the brown on your connector (running), high brightness is the green or yellow on your connector (turn/flash/brake)Yes, four wires at the connector. White is common or ground, brown is running (tail) lights, yellow is left side flashing and green is right flashing. My trailer harness has just the two wires going to each light.
Hook the Brown wire to the Black wire on the LEDs. This is your 'running lights'.Another concern is there are two other colored wires in addition to the white wire on each light. The diagram below shows the two colored wires attached to seperate leads. My trailer just has the white wire on each side plus a colored wire so I spliced the two colored wires of the light together with the colored trailer wire at each light location. Maybe this is incorrect but not sure how else one would do it.
The confusion is the number of wires at two different places. You're talking about at the vehicle/trailer connector, right? Yes, four wires.U keep saying, "1 wire." I dont get that. What 1 wire are u talking about. Mine has 4: 1 ground, 1 for running lights, 1 for left turn/ flas/ brake, and 1 for right turn/ flas/ brake.

The one wire I mention is in addition to the white wire on the trailer harness at each light location.
