Most Popular Bypasses Vehicle Wiring for 2014 Ford Explorer

Always completely satisfied with Etrailer service and products! Jamie B is very knowledgable and courteous!

This was a good option for our 2020 Chevy Equinox because it does not tie into the tow vehicle electrical system and runs directly from the Motorhome electrical system.

They work great on my Class C pulling my Honda CRV.

I just received them and tested them out and they work great. They are very bright and responsive. I look forward to using them in the future when I tow my vehicle behind my RV.

This kit did the job very well. I could have bought each part separately and saved some money, but I went with the comfort knowing all these parts will work together to accomplish the job. I couldn't figure what LED bulb to use for both brake and turn signal. I routed the wire along the truck wiring harness for half the way to the front, then slipped it into the frame channel for the rest of the way. I used a Curt heavy, round 4 pin plug at the front grill. It was a bit of work and took many hours but came out clean!

I installed this on our 2019 Equinox towed. Love the convenience of just plugging in the towed vehicle. The most difficult part was deciding on what part of the light housing to drill the hole for the light socket.

Overall it worked fine. Easy to use. We did encounter some high winds that twisted the light sideways once. Magnet strength otherwise is strong enough.

A very easy way to light my jeep when towed without having to cut into the jeeps wiring system.

These lights have worked flawlessly for the whole 2023 camping season on my RV towed vehicle. I mount them on the rear of the roof so they are nice and high above bicycles on a hitch mounted rack.

They were shipped fast and arrived quickly. These are quality lights with very strong magnets. I installed them on my Jeep in no time after making some steel brackets for the tubular aluminum bumper. Would be nice to have 5 or 6 magnetic clips to place along the wire to secure it to the vehicle. I highly recommend these lights.

Bought this light kit to install in the un-used bottom position in or 2005 Honda CR-V. No need to tap into vehicle's wiring harness. Easy to install, works great! Highly recommend.

This bulb kit is just what I needed to add trailer lights to my 'toad' vehicle. The sockets felt like quality items, it was simple to install. I had my own wire, I think it turned out great.

The tail light kit was easy to install, but I had to replace one of the lights within three months. The lights don't appear to be very durable. I purchased a different LED bulb as a replacement and it appears to be working good now.

Your products have been perfect, good fits and quality products. The towing base plate for my ford Fiesta fit with little modification and the ability to use standard tools. The instructions were right on. The tail light wiring kit also was easy and works great. Shipping was fast and delivery arrived as indicated. I will continue to do business with you.

Ordering and shipping was fast and easy. Products arrived in good condition. I haven't installed them yet, but it all looks as advertised. Not my first order with etrailer and the customer service was outstanding as always. Why anyone would order from any place other then etrailer I cannot fathom.

Roadsters product worked well. I did not remove the lower dash part, and just did extreme yoga to remove and install the fuse bypass. This was the worst part. I can't believe that Honda put this fuse block in such a difficult to access location. The rest was simple. Installing the small connectors was a trick, (I also didn't use the fuse connector) but I finally got the connections in the fuse block. Drilled the hole from the outside and installed the switch. The location could have been lower and more to the left as there was a thicket portion of the dash on the back that prevented the lock nut from seating, but the switch is tight and works well. This is absolutely the way to go instead of pulling a fuse on my 2014 Honda CRV!

I needed to wire our ‘17 Chevrolet Sonic for towing behind our Motorhome. My local shop wanted over $xxx to install such wiring. Online I found the Blue Ox wiring kit and decided to do it myself. The kit and instructions were very complete and informative and it took me about three hours to complete the installation. The time consuming part was removing and reinstalling trim and panels to hide the wiring inside the car. The thing I like most about this kit is it’s independent of the cars wiring system and I’m very happy with it.

I put this base plate on with the assistance of my wife very easy to install. Do recommend the video to install

Great product, strong and reliable. Very easy to put on and take off of my tow vehicle.

This product worked great. I am very happy.

I use the light bar on my SUV towed behind my RV. The towed vehicle is a $50k SUV so I was not excited about tapping into the wiring, or drilling holes in the taillight for an extra incandescent light in a well designed LED setup. I just have two comments. One make sure you zip tie the transmitter. If you are driving on 95 in the Northeast it will vibrate out. I am glad I thought of it or I would have been very unhappy. Second, you can not tell if the light runs out of juice. If it was not for irate truckers honking I would not have known. Be ready with a backup power supply in case your driving day includes a 3 hour delay due to accidents. Otherwise it has clung well, worked great and is very bright. I would recommend this product for any tower’s

I just received the Custer Smart Light from etrailer yesterday. Charged the light bar for a few hours as recommended then mounted it to the roof of my SUV and plugged the transmitter into my motorhome. The light bar works as advertised. Time will tell if this item holds up to about 8K miles of towing per year. If all is well after a years use I give it 5 stars.

Poor quality trailer light connector/transmitter. I received two different ones both with already broken transmitters. The first one was the wrong part anyway.

Haven't had time to really use it, but I connected it and all lights appear to be working as designed. This saved me a lot of time. Rather than having to run wiring through my truck and modify the taillights, this will do just fine! Hope it holds up and glad it's made in the USA.

Installed in my 2024 Chevy Trax. I ran the wire harness up through the front fender, and along the DS rocker panel. No drilling into body required. However, I purchased extra loom to better protect exposed wires next to body. Additionally, I purchased extra wire to support the DS to PS taillight connections. Finally, be advised the plastic taillight assemply is "double hulled," so once you bore through the exterior of the assembly, you will need to drill again, into the lense. On this point, and to ensure a good fit of the bulb socket, a Dremel tool was used to grind down the plastic surface, to ensure a good flat and tight fit. Finally, I used the first cut-out to fashion a cap and to seal the light socket installation. See pic.

I am very happy with this kit. It gives you everything you need to setup an independent brake light system for you toad and therefore bypassing the vehicles internal wiring and computers. I went with this setup as I did not want to complicate my wiring or damage the internal systems of the toad. IT takes sometime to install, but once done hooking up and running the system is simple as plugging in your 7way connector. Combine this with a onboard braking system, and you have the perfect system to pull your two vehicle behind your RV.

Great service as always. Products were as advertised.etrailer is my go to place for trailer supplies.

The jury is out on these lights. They seem quite bright and well made, but the first set, identical to this one, had a magnet let go on its first trip, the light fell off and eventually broke the wiring, shorting out my trailer light converter, all of which I discovered when I reached my destination and found a wire dragging behind the trailer and no light to be found. It was not comforting to know that I had been driving at night with no lights at all on the trailer.
