- Wires towed car as combined lighting system
- Prevents feedback that can damage your vehicle's electrical components with diodes

Notes:
"Don't be intimidated by diodes: if you can strip and crimp wire, this installation will be no problem."
Combined Lighting System vs Separate Lighting System
A combined lighting system uses the same light bulb to signal both braking and turning. (In other words, the car signals a turn by flashing the brake light.)
A separate lighting system has the brake signal and the turn signal light up independently of each other. Typically the turn signal is amber.
To keep the separate lighting system on your car functioning properly while you're flat towing, add a wiring converter (118158 sold separately) and 2 additional diodes.
Do I Need a Brake Light Relay?
If your towed car's brake lights illuminate when you press the brake pedal with the engine off, you need to install a brake light relay (RM-88400 - sold separately) with this kit. Without a relay, your car's brake signal will override the turn signal sent by the RV when you are slowing down to make a turn, creating a potentially dangerous situation. Other drivers will see that you're slowing down, but not that you're making a turn. With a brake light relay, you can signal both and travel safely.

Simple to install kit that does exactly as listed. Very thorough instruction that were easy to follow.
by: Wes 02/10/2024
It does what it says on the tin. Easily lit up my XJ so I could tow it. Only regret is that by making the connections at the rear, you don’t get the front market lights on the toad. I should have connected the running lights diode in the harness under the dash so all the marker lights come on at night.
by: Larry02/10/2024
I’m always extremely satisfied with Roadmaster products. I had just bought a new truck and planned on towing it so I needed everything to get it ready to tow. This review also applies to to the other items I purchased.
by: Gregory H04/19/2024
First of all Justin B,was awesome so very helpful and knowledgeable went over everything with me and then double checked what was needed before I placed the order for my 2022 maverick to be flat towed, order only took 3days to get to Fl.Kudos to Justin B all the guys putting together the order
and etrailer awesome job,will definitely use them again for any of my needs.

Works perfectly and straightforward instructions made it easy to install.

I thought I order the 7 to 6 pin wiring harness for my vehicle as I have the 7/6 cord I used when I pulled my pickup. I also ordered the 6 pin mounting bracket with the 6 pin adapter that wires into the harness. I received the kit which is a flat 4 pin harness.

etrailer is a great company for towing products. They have fast delivery and they have nice installation videos. This order I added 2 more diodes to wire my 2015 Subaru Forester to have separate wiring for break, running, and turn signal lights.

This system worked perfectly from experience. They help from trailers e trailer agents was crucial for guiding me through the process.

I have order several things from etrailer. Their products are great. Due to nobody's fault but my own I ordered some wrong things. The return was so easy, no questions asked. I would recommend this company to anybody.

Great tow plate , easy to install

Fits and works just as it should.
by: Steve03/13/2022
Installation instructions were great, no issues or questions. I ran the wire thru the frame, and used split wire loom and tape to protect wiring when outside the tube frame.

Product is very well built and is hidden within the bumper/grille. Installation wasn't too difficult, reinstallation of front bumper requires 2 people.
Pleased with end results.

One year in and the wiring set up has worked as planned. no issues.
by: Dean 05/17/2023
The install was more challenging than the tow bar itself but we got it done. Be patient with the tail light diodes they are tricky to fit but not impossible. I ended up using some 3m double sided adhesive sticky’s to hold the diodes in place while i pushed the tail light assembly back into position.

Instead I recommend the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 10K Item # RM-422.

The lighting for your 2012 Fiat 500 is wired separately so once you know what the wiring for your motorhome is you can use the corresponding wiring guide I've attached for the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154.

The Roadmaster's EZ Twistlock series brackets are virtually invisible, easy to mount and simple to remove. These brackets install on your Mini Cooper's frame to provide attachment points for your tow bar. You will also need safety cables, I recommend straight cables # RM-645.

- Is a Braking System Needed for a 2005 Honda CRV Being Towed Behind an RVThe legislation for whether or not a supplemental braking system is required for a towed vehicle varies by state but the last I checked, anything over 3,000 lbs requires one no matter which state you're in so it's safe to assume you'll need one for a 2005 Honda CRV. I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot 3 Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System part # BRK2019 as it's easy to setup and can be transferred with you from vehicle to vehicle. It's one of the most popular portable braking systems on...

Diodes were not the ones I needed even though the etrailer site said they were. I had to purchase the correct ones from the auto electric shop where I had the wiring done.
