Used these to tow aluminum body F150. Magnets strong enough to securely attach below rear bumper which is about the only steel part available. Super easy to set up and they work perfectly
I'm using this with a Roadmaster towbar. I'm marking this down a bit because the sending unit uses a 4 Pole flat connector while the available plug on the towbar is a 6 pole round connector commonly used on horse trailers. I had to serve a long time to find anything that would allow me to connect these together without hacking off the connectors and hard wiring them. I ended up with a 7 pole to 6 pole/4 Pole splitter. It will do the job but it's definitely a kluge. It would have been nice if this were offered will connector options. When ordering this equipment I asked the eTrailer customer service rep for an adapter and she kinda skated past that. I figured I could figure it out when I had everything in my hands but it was much harder than I expected.
Magnetic lights seem to work very good but I have only set them up and tried them in the yard.. we are hoping they stand up well while on the road during our next trip !! Easy to set up and use.. we will bring a pocket full of AA batteries along with us as we dont know how long the battery life will be..
Everything arrived on time and in perfect condition. These items are exactly what I needed to complete the towing packed for my rv.
This has worked flawlessly on my Jeep Cherokee that I tow behind my motorhome. Much easier that having to worry about running wires under my vehicle.
Haven’t used it yet. Looks good and delivery was fast.

After a year of use it still works great. I have discovered that rechargeable lithium batteries last the longest. Still happy with my purchase.
It was just what I wanted. Works great and very reasonably priced. More importantly was the great customer service.
Ordered these because my car towing wiring had a problem and didn't have time to get it fixed. First set arrived but had a manufacturing defect and right hand light didn't work (not etrailer's fault!). Called etrailer and they were very accommodating in sending out a second set which arrived in time. The second set worked perfectly. Good service and extensive follow up by etrailer shows they care. I'll use them for other purchases any time!

Still works great. Save us on a trip when the car to RV connection went [bad].
The main reason for the five stars, is I did have a problem with a piece of one of the products and when I called, there was very little questions asked they just handled the problem which I really appreciated. I would for sure do business here again!
Wow This is fabulous . Put battery in, plug in, ready to go!!
No big deal, install batteries and put on toad !
Should have done this years ago before they cut into my tail light wiring and also had to deal with rusted out 4 prong plug in over the years.

Still the best and not a problem, quality product
These things are the best thing since sliced bread!
We have a Lincoln MKZ that already has a hitch on the rear for towing a small enclosed trailer. The thought of having to "hard" wire in a wiring harness for towing behind the motorhome that would still allow the trailer to be towed was not a task I was looking forward to. etrailer suggested these as an alternative. Literally plug and play. Just plug the transmitter into the motorhome, install batteries and attach the magnetic based lights to the trunk of the MKZ and presto! DONE! I hooked the car up behind the motorhome and ran it down the freeway at 60-65 mph and all was good. Worked straight out of the box! Fantastic product!
These work well, bright. They do eat up regular Duracell batteries. After first use of these I switched to Lithium Ion. The lights were noticeably brighter in the daylight sun. The life of the batteries has drastically improved service. I have a habit of removing the batteries when not in use to enable greater duration; they do have an on/off switch built in, but it's so simple to remove them in case of phantom degradation. Over-all, I am very happy with these and installation on the car is a snap. Love them so far. Would buy/recommend to others.
Was absolutely 100% delighted with this product. Drove a total of 2600 miles in all kinds of weather and traffic conditions and these lights worked perfectly. Batteries lasted all most to the end of the trip. I'd recommend this set up to everyone who cannot afford to have wiring redone on a vintage trailer.
I bought the wireless Hopkins tow lights to temporarily tow my new Jeep behind our Motorhome until I could wire the taillights permanently. I liked them so well that I have never wired the Jeep and only use the wireless taillights.
They work great on my Class C pulling my Honda CRV.
It works great. Very easy to attach to my towed car it’s highly revommended
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.
Worked perfectly
These have been a lifesaver for our camper lights not working properly. Never had an issue with these
very easy to see and use. I hope I never have to rewire another old trailer. Love them.
Great looking lights, LED wireless hook up makes this an easy installation and easy choice.
Product appears to work as represented. Have not had it on the road yet.

Lights work great, and battery life is better than expected. Only issue is potential for paint damage... I recommend that the manufacturer consider a softer landing pad to reduce potential for paint scratches.
VERY GOOD SERVICE I HAVE ORDER THINGS FROM FOR YEARS I THINK THEY ARE THE BEST BAR NONE
Very bright and quite easy to install
