24v to 12v 7 blade for towing trailers

As my title mentions, I’m looking into how to convert my 24v trailer wiring system that’s on my 89 m923A2 down to a 7 blade for my camper/boat and who knows what else I might tow.

I know there is an option for about $350-$400 online, I am curious if anyone else has done it, what you used and how. I’m really only looking to get lights, signals, brake lights as my commute is about a mile to the beach under 30mph so no need for brakes.

my thought (PLEASE correct me), is to use a 24v-12v step down on the power and ground, then wire up the 7 blade (or 4 pin depending what’s easiest) and the rest of lights. Do I need to have a step down converter for each of those wires or just power/grnd?
Thank you so much!

Convert your civvy vehicle to LED and no need to change voltage.

Or just make a set of 24V LED tow lights.

Or just run without lights from the storage lot to the lake. (Elephant Butte?)
Yessir, good old EB.
I thought about that but I’m more worried about if I hookup to other people’s going through town on a holiday weekend and the staters get me.
