Get lights for towing your vehicle without splicing into its wiring. Magnetic light kit provides a pair of stop, turn, and tail lights. Mounts using large, heavy-duty magnets for increased stability. Plugs in at rear of your motor home.
Features:
Specs:
A towed car is required by law to have functional brake and signal lights that illuminate at the same time as the brake and signal lights on the RV that is towing it. Most wiring kits require you to splice into your vehicle's electrical system to install diodes, but doing this can void your manufacturer's warranty. You also run the risk of making a mistake during installation that could result in potentially damaging electrical feedback. Magnetic tow lights eliminate this problem because they bypass your car's electrical system entirely and leave your wiring intact. Just mount the lights on your vehicle's trunk or roof with the heavy-duty magnetic bases. Then run the wiring harness up to the front of your towed car, across your tow bar, and then connect it to the 4-way flat on your motor home or tow vehicle. If your tow vehicle doesn't have a 4-way, an adapter is required.
This kit includes a 20' long wishbone-style wiring harness with a 4-way flat connector on the end. A separate 3' wiring harness with a 4-way plug can be used to install a 4-way on your tow vehicle or RV if it does not already have a trailer connector. Quick-splice connectors are included if needed. A 4-1/2' long harness connects both lights, giving you enough slack to position the lights where you want them.

Announcer: Today we'll be taking a look at the Optronics Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights for a 4 flat trailer connector, part number TL21RK.Demonstrater: Here's what it looks like once it's installed. They have a nice, sturdy base, magnetic base, that's going to make it stay on the car. They are designed to fit into a 4 flat on the back of your RV. You're going to have 1 single red light on each side. It's going to act as your turn signal, your tail light, and your brake light. It will affix to any metal surface, such as your roof or a trunk.
It's a very easy, quick install. In this case, we are adding them in unison with the tow package that we have that uses the factory tail lights. In this case, our customer has a bike rack attached to the back of their towed vehicle. We want to make sure that people are able to see their tail lights, which might be obstructed a little bit by our bike rack, so we're going to have a little added security by having the lights on the roof as well. This is what our kit is going to consist of. Our 2 magnetic lights, 20 feet of cable to attach to your vehicle, 4 flat. It also comes with a 3 foot harness of your vehicle is not equipped with a 4 flat connector that you can tie into with the provided quick connects. Now, let me run over some features I'm going to go ahead and show you how to install them.
We're going to take our left light, which is the one with the single wire, denoted with the yellow, place it on our car. You want to just place it and let it snap down. Careful not to drag it across your paint, possibly scratching it. Then we can place our right turn signal on. Then we ca start running our wire to the front of our vehicle.
We went ahead and attached the wiring and bunched it up in the middle of our car with a zip tie just to keep it all together, and we just went ahead and routed it along our roof rack. We kind of weave in and out to zig-zag it and keep it from falling off the side of the car. Brought it down, we put it between the windshield wiper and the arm, just to keep it in place so it can't some off the sides. We went underneath our guardian, following our towed vehicle wiring harness, then plugged it into our 4 flat receptacle. Now we can test our running lights, our left turn signal, and our right turn signal, and our brakes. That's going to do it for a look at the Optronics Heavy Duty Magnetic Tail Lights for a 4 flat trailer connector, part number TL21RK.

They work great! Very strong magnets, bright lights, and plenty of wire. We use them on our utility trailer and our horse trailer! 246868
Best cost effective way to tow without splicing into the tow vehicles wire harness. 630976
Excellent service-delivery was fast and product was exactly what I expected. Customer service was very helpful. Would highly recommend this company and will use in the future. 172008
Fast, friendly service. Delivery made in a very timely manner and complete. Recommend a % star. Been doing business with ETrailer for 5 Years and very satisfied with all products and service. 639247
Wayne H. was very helpful in my choices. 305176
Attached to a bed extender for kayak hauling. Magnets are strong enough but used zip ties as extra security precaution. My vehicle is prewired for flat or round connection. Lights were all "plug and play" for me. Served my purpose very well. 161810
After struggling with my trailer lighting system for years, I gave up and bought a portable system from etrailer. Within 5 minutes of unwrapping it, everything worked great and I am not longer spending hours trying to trouble shoot the old system. The magnets that hold the lights on the trailer are very strong, but I still use a bungy cord on each one just in case I hit a large bump in the road. Thanks etrailer, excellent product! 295763
I am using these for added visibility on the back of a large bike rack that pretty much stays on the car all the time. I do not suggest using the magnets as the only form of attachment as they are not strong enough to keep the lights attached when going over bumps. I zip-tied them to the frame of the bike rack. At first, I had them sticking out from the bottom of the rack, and they were fine until I went up a steep hill and one of the lights got knocked off on the road. These lights are extremely well-built because instead of snapping the light, the rather large zip-ties broke. The light still works great after the incident. I now have them sticking out the sides to give more ground clearance, and they seem to be doing fine. For my application, I had to replace the wire between the lights with a longer one, but that was not difficult and will not be necessary in a typical application. At least the lights are easy to disassemble to access the wiring. The only way these could be improved would be to add strong neodymium magnets and to make the red lenses screw on (instead of snapping on) for easier access to the bulbs for replacement. Otherwise, a perfect product. For the record, I did not need to use the included vehicle wiring harness or splice connectors, since my application required an electronic light controller. 53035
works great for towing my jeep. just plug the four flat into the factory trailer wiring on the tow vehicle, set the lights on the bumper and they work perfect. the magnets are strong but the thicker the metal they are on the better they hold. steel on my bumper is thick enough for a strong hold but I tried thinner metal and the hold is weaker so you may need to add some straps 211070
one year later and still working perfect
Steelhead - 07/11/2016They say that a company is only as good as its employees... Well, etrailer is extremely fortunate to have someone like Shawn B. Working for them! This young lady got me out of a really frustrating predicament, and through careful listening and asking the right questions, she saved me not only a ton of money, but a whole bunch of frustration as well! My dilemma was that I had purchased a Jeep Liberty with a Blue Ox base plate, but I had a Blackhawk 2 tow bar! I thought I was going to have to go out and buy a Blue Ox tow bar to use with the Blue Ox base plate, but through careful review of my situation, and a calm analytical approach, this young lady determined exactly what I needed in the way of adapters and a towing light set up! Today, more than ever, it's all about customer service, and that is exactly what she provided for me! 463012
Great product. Magnets hold tight and plenty of wiring. I would definitely recommend. 653461
Holds well and quick to set up and take off. 636713
Simple lights system that is very easy to use. 613365
Not first purchase from trailer, always very good experience, 601739
Great product with extremely strong magnets to hold them on . Could have been a bit brighter, fine at night but a little dim in daytlight. 595852
So giad I purchased this wiring harness. Works great, is simple to hook up when we're ready to travel. Saved a lot of money since no complicated wiring was required and nothing extra required to hook up. Love it ... highly recommend. 590597
Magnetic tail light for our toad. Ez co nnect 579326
GOOD PRICE 578978
Strong magnets. I needed an extension to plug the lights into the tow vehicle. The wires could be longer between the lights. 577078
Simple, still working perfectly. 558379
I am sure this will bee handy. Much easier to put these lights on, and bring the trailer home to be fixed, then to have to worry about fixing the lights in the field. Looks to be a quality product, and etrailer has excellent pricing. 552845
Good product at a fair price. Fast shipping ! 547468
The lights worked properly 544519
Looks like it will do the job. One problem the length of wire between the two lights is just 1 inch too short for my purpose. I plan to put it on my truck at the end of the bumpers. I guess I will have to splice some wire. Otherwise it looks well built 503455
I was a little concerned about how well these would stay in place being magnet hold to the roof. When placed they stay in place. 492788
have not used yet but will do the job. product as described,no problems . arrived with no damage 472184
The magnets didn't stay on the car so I ended up permanently gluing them to my roof since we tow our car behind the rv full time. Had to replace the bulbs with LED bulbs since our rv tail lights couldn't supply enough voltage to the incandescent bulbs to see them in daytime. This isn't a failure of the product but rather an undiagnosed voltage problem with our rv. With those modifications I am happy with it. 455021
Excellent service. Nice and professional salesperson (crystal s.) will order from them again! 445280
GREAT SERVICE 430631
etrailer was easy to order from and shipping was fast. However, I ordered this specific light set to fit my standard 4-way flat connection that already exists on my trailer and did not plan on doing any wiring on my truck. Unfortunately, it does not fit. I will have to buy a converter or something I guess. I emailed them with this issue asking if this light is not a standard 4-way flat and haven't received a response. Seems to be a nice sturdy light set. Doesn't help when I can't use it, though. 413367
set it up and worked great 411783
The product arrived quickly and was exactly as advertised. The light kit is the perfect solution for the car I tow behind my RV, but also use by itself. I like the fact that it is totally portable, mounts high up on the vehicle for good visibility and is quick and easy to install when needed. 391247
Worked perfect. I have since gone to anew vehicle with integrated light wiring. I sold the lights to a friend and he has been happy since!
Ed F - 06/09/2018I am satisfied with the product. It functions very well. 381122
Works great. Easy to use. Just what I wanted. 379741
I've bought stuff from etrailer from time to time and it was always what I thought it would be, good quality, reasonably priced, and delivered on time. I guess it's about as good as it gets. 378220
Magnets could be a little strongers 377605
The product itself is well made and reliable. However, I didn't realize how much the wire laying across the hood of my dinghy would move while driving. This resulted in significant buffing of the surface that required several rounds of compounding to remove. I have since moved to a wireless unit. If you plan on using this product, I would recommend running the wires under the hood or taping them down in a way that doesn't damage your dinghy's surface. 376471
great perfect 348029
Great service and product. This is a great example of how companies should treat customers!! 342258
5 Stars for customer service, quick shipping, online catalog and prices! 326638
Great product solved my problem when I have a wiring problem when towing. Great emergency remedy. 320627
Excellent product, very good advice, fantastic attitude, fast shipping, cannot ask for more. 317626
Awesome lights work great for towing my jeep. Easy set up strong magnets! 309214
Still works great!
M T - 11/25/2017Scratched the finish and tended to rotate in the wind at 60 MPH 306319
Strong magnets hold the lights in place even on a bouncy trailer. Lead wire length is sufficient for the average towing vehicle or trailer. My only complaint is that the wire length between the two lights needs to be a foot longer for my uses. 268014
Product is fine. Magnetic temporary trailer lights I am going to fit to a hitch mount bike rack. As usual etrailer sets the industry standard for fast, complete customer service. So many companies could learn from you. 230437
The trailer light kit is just what i needed and the price was right. Thanks! 210119
Speed of delivery was great and the product was exactly what I expected. Surprisingly, the magnets hold really well, I was concerned the lights might fall off when I went over a large bump. The wiring was smaller/thinner grade than the wiring in my vehicle, but that did not present any issues. All in all, this was worth the small investment. Quick and easy. 205882
Purchased the 10" drop/ rise receiver to make hooking up the tow bar to my jeep level. My jeep has 4" of lift on 33's and the truck is a stock 2013 dodge ram. This receiver leveled them perfectly. The light kit I purchased also works great. 200064
Easy to set up and install 180954
