Recommendation For Wiring Kit When Flat Towing a 2003 Honda Element
Question:
What wiring kit do I need to wire up my 2003 Honda Element as a Toad?

Expert Reply:
For a light wiring kit when flat towing your 2003 Honda Element, I would recommend two different choices. If you do not plan on towing the vehicle often, you can use a light kit like the Roadmaster Standard Magnetic Tow Lights
Item # RM-2120. If you do plan on towing it often, I recommend installing diodes using Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, part # RM-154. With this diode kit the vehicle brake lights will function as both brake and turn lights. It will also have the diodes that prevent feedback from going from the taillights on the towed vehicle back to the vehicle that will be doing the towing. I am including a link to a video showing a typical installation of this diode kit for you.
I am including a link to a FAQ page on which wiring kit is best for you and a link to a FAQ page on wiring your Element as a 2-wire combined system or a 3-wire separate system.
