Question:

Hello, Im planning to flat tow a 2016 Nissan 370z. The turn signal bulbs are separate from the stop/running lights. My questions are: will I need to purchase extra diodes? And can you recommend the proper wiring kit/harness? Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:

You can wire up a vehicle that has separate turn signals from stoplights as a combined setup when you install tow bar wiring. Basically you'll use the diodes to run both circuits to the stoplights of the vehicle which will allow them to illuminate when the brakes are applied and also flash when the blinker is on.

For a kit that comes with everything and would work great you'd want the Roadmaster diode kit part # RM-152-98146-7.
