Wiring Lights for a 2001 Toyota Tacoma Being Towed by a RV
Question:
Of the various available solutions available, the easiest method would be to use a magnetic towing light like part # C-ATL20A. This is a good option for occasional use. A more permanent wiring solution would be the Roadmaster Bulb and Socket Kit, part # RM-155. This kit uses bulbs that would install through 1 inch holes drilled into the back of the tail light assemblies. This solution allows the tow lighting wiring to remain completely independent of the wiring of the Tacoma. The install is straightforward, and the system is very easy to use once in place. For more information about flat towing a vehicle, take a look at the FAQ articles I have linked to.
