Video Transcript for Roadmaster Tow Bar Wiring - Bypasses Vehicle Wiring - RM-155-2 Review
Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Roadmaster Bulb and Socket Set for Tail Light Wiring Kits. This set includes two bulbs and two sockets, designed to work with Roadmaster's Tail Light Wiring Kit. Each socket has a three-wire design that would easily connect to the Roadmaster Wiring Kit. With these installed in your vehicle, along with a wiring kit from Roadmaster, it's going to allow you to use your towed vehicle signal lights without tapping into the towed vehicle's wiring system. This is going to be ideal for flat towing applications. When installing this, you will need a one inch diameter hole for the installation and around two and a half inches of available space inside the tail light assembly for these to install without harming any other components inside the assembly due to the heat that these will produce. If you ever need to replace a bulb, it uses a 1157 double filament bulb.
They are available and sold separately at etrailer.com. I also recommend using some type of sealant around the mounting area to keep dirt and moisture away from the internal components of the tail light assembly. We do offer some sealant here at etrailer.com. You can check out the related items on this product's page to see the options there. When it comes to the wiring, your black wire's going to be your ground wire. Your brown wire is for the running lights and your red wire is for the brake and turn signals.
That's going to do it for today's look at the Roadmaster Bulb and Socket Set for Tail Light Wiring Kits.

This set includes two bulbs and two sockets designed to work with RoadMaster's tail light wiring kits.by: Bill P.06/15/2017
Bought this light kit to install in the un-used bottom position in or 2005 Honda CR-V. No need to tap into vehicle's wiring harness. Easy to install, works great! Highly recommend.
by: Richard B.09/19/2020
This bulb kit is just what I needed to add trailer lights to my 'toad' vehicle. The sockets felt like quality items, it was simple to install. I had my own wire, I think it turned out great.

Perfect fit for my 2001 Jeep Sahara. Still working.

These lights worked great in the 2007 Jeep Liberty tail light housings.

I have had light problems with my Motor Home tow vehicle for quite some time. It seemed like every time we got ready to take a trip one or more of the lights would not work and troubleshooting them was a real pain.
After using the trailer wiring package and wiring it completely separate from the vehicles lights, I have had no trouble with lights not working when I tow the car. If I were to have a problem now, I don't have to involve the tow car factory wiring just the separate system. Works Great.

I have installed the RM-155-2 on our 2018 Equinox to remove the possibility of problems in the electrical system of an electronic rich vehicle. Following the instruction sheet, and the very good video available from etrailer, the installation was easy for any DIY home mechanic. After towing our Equinox the on the first trip, I found that the RM-155-2 kit performed as expected and am very pleased and happy that my vehicle warranty has not been voided by alteration of the electrical system.

Recieved item as promised on time. Installed the light bulbs to my crv yesterday worked perfect. Thank you.

This is a great way to be able to tow your vehicle without happen to have the key in the on position to have my lights work. This is on a Jeep 2001 Jeep wrangler. I also disabled the steering wheel lock. Now the keys are with me and not left in the ignition so it can be stolen.
by: Ken-GA10/27/2018
Product arrived in excellent time. Was just what I needed. The only constructive comment that I can offer is that the diameter of the hole that must be drilled into the fixtures was not shown nor stated. I had to try drilling by trial and error on a scrap piece until I got the right hole size.

RoadMaster Bulb and Socket Set for Tail Light Wiring Kits part # RM-155-2 are replacement bulbs for Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit part # RM-155. The installation instructions for RM-155 require drilling a one inch circular hole through the back of the taillight housings. The holes must be circular and one inch to hold the sockets in place. I have attached a link for the installation instructions on RM-155.

Bulbs and sockets fit nicely into the taillight module for my new 2015 Chevy Sonic. Plenty of depth in the red lens module for the RM-155-2 sockets and bulbs when mounted near the factory bulbs, and recommended 1" hole saw was perfect size.
Allowed me to add towing lights to the car after an RV dealer said it couldn't be done, and at minimal expense.
by: Dan the RVer08/06/2019
These Roadmaster light pigtails were used with a Roadmaster 4-wire strand for full-functioning jeep tail-lights, wired straight through from motor home connection. Instructions included. Works great.
by: Jeff 09/22/2022
These renewed the tail lights on my CRV toad. Wires on the old one corroded.
by: Felicia01/20/2020
This product seems to be of good quality and was delivered quickly. It will not work for my application. Check you tail lights closely, my 2014 ram has LED tail lights and I am unable to find a location that will allow me to install these. The non LED tail lamps are no problem.
by: Josie01/21/2018
I've had these lights for a year now and they are working really well! Thanks etrailer!

The service in getting these parts was exceptional. Pat was very helpful over the phone with placing the order, she got the order out to me immediately and followed up to insure receipt. Great service! I will use this site for any future trailer part needs.
by: Garry I.10/23/2017
I received these sockets with bulbs in a timely manner and were just what I needed to wire my 2003 Jeep Liberty with turn signal and brake lights that were independent from the Jeep. They are now powered by my R.V. tow vehicle. Thanks etrailer, I could not find these anywhere locally. Great Product and easy to install. G. Ingle.
by: Charles 08/20/2018
I had no issues with the product, the sales tech was very helpful. The video you have online was extremly helpful. Early this year I installed a base plate for towing and your video helped me with that also.
Thanks Charlie F.

Every think worked out fine from the time I ordered the items and installed the items on the car for our scheduled trip. I will be looking for products on this web site when I need something. I did not know etrailer had so many items to purchase at a good price.

Works great, easy to install and makes the flat tow light game a non-issue!
by: John H.06/26/2017
Purchased for use on our chevy traverse, watched the video, and it helped make installation easy, they work great and I couldn't be happier. A high quality part. Now I won't have to be concerned about damaging the Traverse electrical system.

Traveled around US for 5 months last fall and winter worked great, Installed my self in Nissan pick up.
by: Larry 07/29/2021
Good universal socket for light housings that have hard to find sockets.
Hole size needs to fit 1157 bulb tight for best fit. I had to make my opening larger to work.
by: Tom W.08/29/2013
This a great product, and as always etrailer shipped it out asap . Great place to do business with!

- Could RV Taillights Be Replaced with part # RM-155-2The bulb and socket kit part # RM-155-2 would certainly fit the assembly you have. The bulb style is a 1157 so for a replacement LED version you would need the part # P231157R360.

- Size of Hole Needed to Install Roadmaster Bulb and Socket Kit # RM-155 In Taillight AssemblyTo use the Roadmaster Bulb and Socket kit you referenced, part # RM-155-2, you'll need to drill a 1 inch diameter hole in the rear of your taillight assemblies. You'll want to make sure you have at least 2-1/2 inches of available depth, because if the bulb is too close to the inside of the lens, the lens could melt. The full kit that includes the connectors and wire is part # RM-155. I'll link you to an install video that you should find helpful.
view full answer... - Do I Need Diodes to Prevent Feedback from RV When Flat TowingTechnically no, you should not need diodes, though it will depend on the wiring harness you are using. Many wiring harnesses have built-in diodes. If you are using a TrailerMate wiring harness you may need to install additional diodes. We have had trouble with their built-in diodes giving out. If you are using a Bulb and Socket Set for Tail Light Wiring Kits like # RM-155-2, or a magnetic tow lights like # TL21RK, you won't have to worry about diodes because there won't be any feedback...
view full answer... - Replacement Bulbs for the Roadmaster Bulb and Socket Kit # RM-155-2The Roadmaster Bulb and Socket Kit, # RM-155-2, uses 1157 bulbs. For replacement bulbs, you will want part # DI79VR.
view full answer... - What Size Hole Is Needed For Mounting Bulb And Socket For Taillight AssemblyTo install the Roadmaster Bulb and Socket Kit, part # RM-155-2, you will need to drill a 1 inch diameter hole in the rear of your taillight assemblies. You want to make sure you have at least 2-1/2 inches of available depth, because the heat from the bulb could melt the lens if mounted too close. A hole saw is probably the best option for drilling a 1 inch hole. If the entire kit is needed, you can order part # RM-155. I have attached an installation video you can check out.
view full answer... - Best Bulb and Socket Kit for Flat Towing 2018 Chevrolet EquinoxI do have an opinion for you but the RoadMaster Bulb and Socket Set part # RM-155-2 is not a confirmed fit for you 2018 Chevrolet Equinox. For a bulb and socket kit that will work with your vehicle, I recommend using the Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs part # RM-155 for incandescent or part # RM-152-LED for LED. As long as you do not have the Premier edition then either of these kits will work well for you In order to install either kit you can also going to need a silicone...
view full answer... - Tow Bar Lighting Recommendations for a 2012 Honda CRVI checked with Roadmaster and the Bulb and Socket Set # RM-155-2 that you referenced will work on your 2012 Honda CRV. For the entire kit you would want part # RM-155 though.
view full answer... - Which Tow Bar Light Kit for Flat-Towing 2011GMC AcadiaThe RoadMaster Bulb and Socket Set for Tail Light Wiring Kits, part # RM-155-2, is not compatible with your Acadia lighting system. These incandescent bulbs will not fit in your tail light housing due to the presence of the circuit board that powers the Acadia's LED lights. Also, they would generate much more heat than the specified LED bulbs and might interfere with the nearby circuitry. If you will be towing your vehicle only on occasion, you may want to consider a magnetic towing light...
view full answer... - Are Light Sockets in # RM-155 Available Separately From Rest of KitThe lights sockets you refer to are indeed available without the rest of the kit. You would need part # RM-155-2, which you can see by clicking on the provided link.
view full answer... - Will the Roadmaster Bulb and Socket Kit Fit a 2010 Honda CR-VI checked with Roadmaster and they do list the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, as a fit for the 2010 and 2012 Honda CR-V. However, to be certain I recommend drilling a 1/16 inch hole in the back of the tail light housing and then using a small piece of rigid wire or something similar that will fit in the hole, push it in as far as it will go, and then measure how much of the wire goes inside the housing. This will tell you how much space there is. You will need about 2-1/4 inches of depth.
view full answer... - Brake Light Relay Recommendation for 2018 Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited Being Flat TowedWe have a brake light relay part # RM-88400 which is designes for your exact situation and is recommended when using the Blue Ox Patriot part # BLU37TR with a bulb-socket style tow bar wiring kit like part # RM-155-2 that you referenced. This would be your best option and would not require you to pull fuses for the brake lights which would only take out the third brake light anyway.
view full answer... - How To Determine Which Wires on 1157 Base Power Each Filament When Wires Are Same ColorWith your base having the same color wires you are going to need to bench test it with a Bulb # A1157B to verify which wire powers each of the filaments in the bulbs. The manufacturer should have used different colored wires like the Roadmaster # RM-155-2 which has black for ground, red for brake/turn and brown for running lights.
view full answer... - Replacement Bulbs for Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit RM-155You can replace the bulbs on your Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit, # RM-155 with the Replacement Bulbs and Sockets for Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit, # RM-155-2. There is also a 10 Pack option under # RM-155-10. If you need a silicone sealant, I suggest, # LT37467.
view full answer... - Can Stop/Turn Circuit be Used for Stoplight Circuit for Supplemental Braking SystemSince the stop light circuits you mentioned wanting to tap into also carry the turn signal circuit you cannot use them for the brake light activation of your supplemental braking system. You'd need to tap into a dedicated stoplight circuit which you'd find at the brake pedal. Use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test the wires that run to the brake pedal switch till you find one that only has voltage when the brakes are applied.
view full answer... - Installing Ground Wires of Roadmaster Tail Light Bulb Kit for a Flat Towed VehicleGenerally, when installing # RM-155 the ground wires are combined and connected to the vehicle frame in one location. However, as long as you're using a good, clean mounting point the grounds can be connected on each side.
view full answer... - Tow Bar Wiring that Bypasses Vehicle Wiring on a 2015 Jeep Grand CherokeeThe bulb and socket kit # RM-155-2 is not one of the tow bar lighting systems that is recommended for your 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee (it doesn't fit) so I do not recommend using it. For another option that bypasses the vehicle wiring you can use a magnetic light kit such as # RM-2120 We also have wireless options # 337TL257M and # LIW-LDTL.
view full answer... - How to Wire 4-Way Trailer Connector with Roadmaster Bulb and Socket Light Kit on a TrailerTo combine the 4-way wiring harness # A20WB with the bulb and socket kit # RM-155-2 it's really just a matter of connecting wires. On the wiring harness you want to ground the white wire to your trailer's frame. Somewhere that is clean and bare metal. The same with the black wires from each of the bulb and socket lights. If the clearance lights and ID marker light have ground wires then they'll also need to be grounded. If they don't have a ground wire then the lights ground through...

This will help you to isolate the brake light so that you can meet the European standards.

GREAT, Using this kit and bypassing the tow vehicles lighting system has meant many trips with no lighting problems. Defiantly recommend this.
