Video Transcript for Feature Breakdown: Blue Ox Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. And today, we're gonna take a look at this Blue Ox taillight wiring kit with integrated LED bulb and socket assemblies for towed vehicles. This taillight kit is gonna give you brake, running, and turn signal lights for your towed vehicle without tapping into its wiring. It bypasses your towed vehicle's electrical system completely by routing this wiring beneath your towed vehicle and securing the wiring with cable ties that are sold separately, making sure that you stay away from anything that's going to pinch the wiring or from any heat sources. So, this kit is very nice in that.

As I said before, you're not gonna have to tap into your vehicle's electrical system. This kit has an integrated LED bulb and socket design that mounts inside of your taillight assembly. And the LED bulbs are smaller than traditional incandescent bulbs, giving you a better fit and a much simpler installation. As you can see here, I have this bulb and socket assembly already wired to my power source. So, let me go ahead and turn the power on just to give you a demonstration of the brightness here.

So, with my studio lights on, you can see that it's turned on and see the brightness. But let me go ahead and turn my studio lights off. Give you a better idea. So, this is simulating the running lights, and then that's gonna be what your brake lights look like when you hit your pedal, and then turn signal. And let me go for a wider view.

And again, running lights, and then brake lights. You can see how much brighter it's gotten. And then turn signals. Let me see if I can shine this on the wall behind me. Running lights, brake lights, turn signals.

So, these are, of course, white LEDs. So, they are going to last longer and burn brighter, and activate faster when compared to your incandescent lights. And the integrated bulb and socket assemblies are going to require only a 9/16 of an inch in diameter hole in your taillight housing for the installation. You just want to keep in mind that each of your taillight housings on your vehicle must have enough room for the extra bulb and socket assembly to fit. Also, you will need some silicone caulk, which is not included, to seal this socket in the taillight housing. Now, this is made here in the USA. It includes everything that you see here on my table before me. Again, you're gonna get two integrated white LED bulb and socket assemblies, and then the necessary wiring, a 26 foot long wiring harness, and then a 12 foot brown and green wire in this bundle here, and then two self-tapping screws, six butt connectors, two ring terminals, and a detailed sheet of instructions to walk you through the installation process. Now, your plug and extension loop for hook up to your RV is sold separately. So, if you do not already have those, you can pick that up here at etrailer.com. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..

I bought this kit to fit a 2025 Chevy Trax Activ. The taillights on the trax have very little room to add an additional bulb but these were small enough to fit perfectly. The lights are also plenty bright to see during daylight.

Still doing good. Not bright in daylight but good enough. Have about 5000 miles on flat tow. Still working.

Great product. One of the lightbulbs came damaged and the lightbulbs seem cheaply made.
by:
Took six hours to install! Not an easy task but got it done. My tip is to allow ample time to install and don't be in a hurry. Everything worked once it was installed. Don't wait until all else fails to read the instructions. I had to refer to the instructions multiple times doing the install.
by:
Web site was easy to navigate, parts shipped quickly, and correctly. Would definitely shop with them again.
by:
I put this base plate on with the assistance of my wife very easy to install. Do recommend the video to install
by:
I will give it an excellent in that the bulbs function as both a brake light and a turn light and the brightness and function are great but I have one gripe in that the wiring to the bulb base is fragile and will break if not well supported, electrical tape wrap should do. This purchase was the second just to get a replacement bulb for the first as they are super expensive! It otherwise works great! Support the bulb base wiring!

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.

The wiring harness was great. Directions were very good and installation was fairly easy with few CNN if any real problems.

My 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback baseplate has worked great, no "0" issues. I've towed my car over 4,000 miles and the baseplate is as tight as the day I put it on. Great product......
by:
This kit was a lifesaver. I did not want to cut in to my Fiat 500’s wiring, but I didn’t like the magnetic light set up either. This light set up was the happy medium and work’s great. Also, there is no drain on the tow car battery! I ran the wiring through the interior of my car for a really clean look.

Easy Install Light Kit!

by:
2016 Jeep Patriot
We bought the Blue Ox Patriot Braking System from etrailer based on their reviews and their reputation of standing behind their products and being available for questions. We also bought the Blue Ox Tow Bar and Base Plate which I installed myself on our 2016 Fiat Pop. It is such a small and light car that we could probably tow it in most states without a braking system, but we didn't want to take a chance. Better safe than sorry. The system works great. Fortunately, I did not have any issues with the tow bar install except for drilling two holes through the bumper area, however that was my fault (dull bit). etrailer is E-excellent!

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.

I ordered several items to equip my Honda CRV for towing....BlueOx baseplate, lighting kit and a receiver tube (to carry bicycles). Good prices and expeditious shipping. Can't complain about anything....was very happy with their customer service. They certainly will be my go-to source if I need anything in the way of towing or hitch equipment.
by:
I liked how the system was separate from the cars lighting.
