Question:
I am towing a 2023 Honda Civic on a dolly behind my motorhome. I would like to use the lights on the civic when it is being towed. Do you have a wiring kit that will allow me to use my civic lights while it is being towed?

Hi Byron; to use the lights on your 2023 Civic you would need flat tow wiring. Unfortunately, nobody makes it for the Civic so that won't be an option. The # C43VV you looked at is designed to power the lights on a trailer if you were towing something with your car so that won't work either. If your tow dolly has lights on it like the Demco Kar Kaddy SS # DM9713045 you won't need additional lights. If not, you can use universal magnetic lights like the Flint Hill Goods Magnetic Tow Lights - Red/Amber LEDs # FHG96ZR.
