Question:
From what I understand, when towing a vehicle using the Demco Kar Kaddy dolly, I still will need lights on the rear of the towed vehicle, in addition to the lights on the dolly. If I use a kit like the magnetic LED tow light kit Item # TLL21RK, where do I plug it in? Do I not use the lights on the dolly and instead plug in the tow light kit to the plug on the tow vehicle? Does the Kar Kaddy have a place to plug in the tow light kit, so that both the dolly lights and the tow light kit can be used together? Perhaps I dont need the dollys built in lights when the vehicle being towed has a tow light kit in place? Thanks in advance!

Expert Reply:
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. If you do need to have lights on the vehicle you could use the magnetic LED tow light kit part # TLL21RK and to add a 4-way to your tow vehicle's wiring you would want the part # 18252 which would wire into the current trailer wiring.
