Installing a Wireless LED Light Bar for Towed Vehicle Lighting
Question:
Id like to put a wireless light bar inside of my SUV towed vehicles back window. I use a dolly to tow it so I dont legally need lights, but it would be nice to have the extra set. I dont want to use magnets on the roof. I can make some kind of 90 degree mount if needed. I think someone should make a lightbar that would allow for the magnets to adjust down to swing down on different degrees, so it can be mounted vertically to the lift door of a SUV or even inside of a pickup tailgate. If the LEDs are inside shinning thru the back window they would be protected from the weather and wouldnt get stolen off of the vehicle. maybe I should invent something Also I would need some kind of splitter or adapter to plug my dolly and the light bar into my motorhomes 7 way flat connector. The dolly has a flat 4 pin connector. I now use an adapter for it. Do you guys sell anything like this? Thank you

I might have a solution for you.
You will need to replace the current 7-way trailer connector on the RV with # HM48470 that has both a 7-way and 4-way connector. Then you can use the wireless LED light bar # LIW-LDTL plugged into the 7-way with your dolly plugged into the 4-way. You'll also need a 12-volt socket in the cargo area of the vehicle if there isn't already one. You can use # RM-9332.
You'll then need to figure out a way to mount the light in your vehicle's window, like you said.
