Tow Bar Lighting Option Recommendation for 2012 Jeep Patriot

Question:

We bought the Blue Ox base plate from you for our 2012 Jeep Patriot. Now we are having trouble figuring out the wiring for the lights. Where do we hook in to the lighting system. Any suggestions? Magnetic tow lights?

For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV. I prefer this style to the bulb and socket styles that require drilling into the light housing or the temporary style, magnetic lighting options.
