Question:

We are trying to tow our Veloster behind our RV. We have the tow bar and base plate and now Im looking for a wiring harness for the brake light system. The only one I can find is from Hopkins Hopkins 43834 Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Kit on Amazon. The shipping time is 1 - 3 months and the problem is we need it within the next week. I understand this kit is to tow a trailer behind the Veloster but is it reversible? If not, do you carry anything that is comparable to the Hopkins 43834 Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Kit? Thanks!

Expert Reply:

Since trailer wiring is not reversible to allow it to be used in a flat towing setup you'd have to go with tow bar wiring that does fit your 2016 Hyundai Veloster.

For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
