Will Peterson Magnetic Tow Lights Scratch Paint  

Updated 03/04/2026 | Published 02/28/2026

Question:

2023 deep wrangler Rubicon I am wondering if there has been any issues with this item PE26UR scratching the paint I would also like a flat connector to be able to pug this light kit into and then wire into a six pin connector that will be permanently mounted to my base plat to flat tow.

Hey George, we haven't had any issues with the Universal Tow Lights part # PE26UR scratching paint but as long as you keep the painted surface of the vehicle and the lights clean there won't be any scratches. It sounds like you are looking for an adapter like the Roadmaster part # RM59DQ would plug into a female 6-way and give you a 4-way for the # PE26UR to connect to. Is that what you are looking for.

The magnets have not scratched, but the wire will make a rub mark if left flapping in the wind. A lot of new vehicles are plastic and aluminum, make sure you have steel for the magnets.

Hello there the Peterson Tow Lights are Amazing I January 2026' vacation starting at Newport Beach California and to Port of Bellingham Blaine Wa boat dock and Vacation at Sailing Boat Marina for a two weeks and then back home to Newport Beach Corona Del Mar State Beach where I lived for years and the Peterson Tow Lights work great round trip everything toSay worked perfectly and the cord made could just be a little longer about a foot for me with a Jeep Wrangler two door bot a Jeep Wrangler four door you would need to splice and add wire to length the cable to fit the size Jeep you need and plan ahead to time that would take a week to fabricate and safety check the lamps if you lengthen the wires yourself as needed and the Led bulbs are bright and turn signals are great and running lights and stop led work great easy to see day and or night and the magnets are strong just clean the mounting surface every other day because of road dirt on rear bumper and cord from magnets through jeep to window to hood and added a shoe string to center the cord to my Jeep hood has a plastic fastener in muddle of hood the Jeep this way aligns the cord to the pick up truck bumper plug in wire harness and myself will plan another Peterson Tow Lights as another set there just great .
