Trailer Wiring harness; 2013 LR4 same as 2005 LR3?

[toddjb122]

2005 LR3 part number is YWJ500220
2013 LR4 part number is VPLAT0013

From picture inspection...they look similar.

You can probably guess where I'm going... is it worth my time to pull the harness off my LR3 to put it on the LR4?

Atlantic British has their own version on sale for $104 and the OEM part can be had for $170, it seems. So it's not too expensive in any case, for an LR part.

Though, I'm one of those "what's my time worth?" guys... if I pull it off to sell, I could probably get $75 for it but have to take in the time to pull it and deal with the yahoos on Craigslist/ebay. So, I'll probably just grab it for me (or if one of you guys want to buy it).

When you can buy a new wiring kit for $104, it may be hard to sell a 12 year old one. And is it worth your time and effort to try to get it out of your LR3? You don't want to break a $500 taillight to get at a $50 used wiring harness.

@PaulLR3, wise words. Thanks for the sanity check.
