Will Optronics LED Magnetic Tow Lights Protect Against Scratching 2018 Ford Fiesta SE Paint?
Question:
I sold my Jeep Wrangler and now plan to flat tow our 2018 Ford Fiesta SE. It is not an EcoBoost. I have a Blue Ox Patriot 3 braking system and a Blue Ox Alpha motorhome mount tow bar. I need: Base plate for the Fiesta. Adapters for my tow bar (if required). Magnetic LED taillights. (I don't want to mess with a wiring kit) Battery disconnect switch. Replacement breakaway connection for the Patriot 3.

The Optronics Magnetic LED Tow Light Kit - Weatherproof - Red Lens - 20' Wiring Harness - Qty 2 # TLL21RK has a protective label pad on the bottom to keep from scratching paint. You can see this at the 2 minute mark of the attached review video. I do recommend wiping down the vehicle with a microfiber cloth before putting the lights on simply to remove any dust or debris that could be abrasive between the scratch free label and the paint for added security.
