Hello Tom, thanks for reaching out. If your tow dolly already has brake lights that are DOT compliant, you actually would not need to add additional lights.
If you still want to add a separate set of tow lights, the best way to do this is using the 7-way plug on your RV. Since the 4-flat is already taken, you can use an adapter for your 7-way like part # 37385 to hook up the additional 4-flat.
