• Will SMI Delta Force Portable Braking System Work on 2019 Honda Fit
  Yes, the Blue Ox Patriot item # BLU37TR will work perfectly on your 2019 Honda Fit. You will also need the # RM-88400. Whether or not a system like this will actually activate the brake lights when pressing down on the pedal depends on the specific vehicle it's being used on (how the tail lights function when in the correct mode for towing). Based on my research though the brake lights for your 2019 Honda Fit should indeed still illuminate when the Patriot 3 applies the brakes. This...

• Where to Find Out if a Vehicle Can Be Flat Towed
  The best place to find out if your 2014 Honda Fit with an automatic transmission can be flat towed is to consult the owners manual of the vehicle.

From the research I did it looks like the vehicle is not flat-towable. I attached a couple FAQs on flat towing for you to check out also.

• Will Custer Peterson Tow Light Kit # PE26UR Fit Trunk of 1996 Toyota Camry

• Is Equipment For Flat Towing Vehicle Behind an RV Vehicle Specific
  The short answer is some of the equipment is, some isn't. Typically, to flat tow a vehicle you'd need the following: Base Plate Kit- certainly vehicle specific. Tow Bar- not vehicle specific Safety Cables- not vehicle specific Wiring Solution- Some vehicle specific plug and play options available, many universal or semi-universal options. Supplemental Braking System- not vehicle specific, although there are some tailored for motorhomes with air brakes. The wiring and braking kits will...

• Parts Needed to Tow a 2013 Kia Optima on a Tow Dolly
  I checked the online manual for your 2013 Kia Optima and didn't see anything about recreational dolly towing, only emergency dolly towing. While the manual didn't give any distance restrictions for dolly towing it is always best to confirm whether it is safe or not with a Kia dealer. If it is okay then you simply need a tow dolly and then some lights. Tow dollies tend to have lights on them but it helps to have some extra lights to make sure people around you can tell what you are doing. For...

• Magnet Strength Of Peterson Tow Bar Wiring 18148 Lights
  The Peterson Magnetic Tow Lights - 4-Way Flat Connectors # PE26UR have a strong magnet. They don't have any weight rating or capacity rating. They have been tested at highway speeds with various weather conditions to stay firmly in place on your towed vehicle's exterior. You can remove them by hand, and they take a little strength to remove, but you do have to be purposeful for them to come loose. I've attached an article on these style magnetic lights to assist.

• Magnetic Tow Lights Stay on When Connected to 4-Pole Connector on Tow Vehicle
  It sounds like you have already been doing some troubleshooting which helps to narrow down the possibilities for us. What I recommend doing is testing both sets of lights with another vehicle. Even though it is unlikely that 2 sets of magnetic lights would be malfunctioning the exact same way at the same time, it is not impossible. You can verify that the lights are working properly by performing this test. If they need to be replaced, we have the Peterson Magnetic Tow Lights # PE26UR...

• Are Additional Lights Required on Towed Vehicle When Using a Tow Dolly
  Generally, you don't need additional lighting when using a tow dolly that already has lights. However, it's not a bad idea to check with the local laws in the states you'll be traveling in and in Canada. Some people like to add additional lights just to make it easier to see the vehicle that's on the dolly. If you wish to add lights, you'll need to splice in a tow light kit, like # PE26UR, because the trailer connector on the back of your RV will already be in use with the dolly. Unless...

• Is There a Light Kit for the Swagman XP Bike Rack?
  Since the Swagman XP # S64960 is made of steel, you can attach magnetic lights to the carrier. For this route, I recommend the Peterson Magnetic Tow Lights - Red # PE26UR. The Peterson lights serve as running lights, brake lights, and turn signals on your bike rack. For installation, the wires will install right into the four-way wiring harness on your 2017 Subaru Outback. If you need a harness, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56040. The harness I suggested is...

• Flat Towing Recommendations for 2015 Honda Fit
  According to the owner's manual for the 2015 Fit, Honda doesn't recommend flat towing the vehicle. I did some research online and found that using a tow dolly like part # RM-2050-1 is the recommended method for transporting the vehicle behind a motorhome. A tow dolly will typically have taillights, but the extra visibility provided by a set of the # RM-2120 EZ Mount Tow Lights would be a great idea from a safety standpoint. The tow dolly uses electric brakes, so you'd need a brake controller...
