Wiring Kit to Flat Tow a 2017 Ford Focus SEL Hatchback with Separate Wiring
Question:
What about with the separate lighting of the Focus?

The differences between the two custom wiring kits you mentioned is the vehicles they are designed to fit. However, neither of them fit your 2017 Ford Focus. Part # HM56200 fits a Jeep Wrangler JK from 2017 and 2018 and part # HM56007 fits a Focus but it's the sedan model from 2012 to 2014. These kits offer a simple plug-in installation behind the vehicle's tail lights. Unfortunately, this option isn't available for your 2017 hatchback.
Instead I recommend part # TR118821 that does work with your Focus. It doesn't plug in behind the tail lights but it does include the wire connectors to make the conenctions easy. You also end up with the same 4-way plug at the front of your vehicle to plug directly into your RV. I've linked a video of the kit being installed on a Grand Cherokee. It's a different vehicle but the process is universal.
