To install towing lights on your 2003 Jeep Wrangler you have two options. One way is to use a taillight isolating diode system, RM-154, to wire the motor home lighting system into the cars with diodes protecting both from damage. The second is to use a separate set of bulbs in the rear taillights, RM-155, that are run only from the motor home and do not interact with the vehicle wiring. This option requires enough space in the towed vehicles taillights to mount the extra bulb, but it eliminates any issues with the vehicle warranty. You can install the 4-way round connector on the end of either of these wiring options. you can also use the Roadmaster Flexo-Coil 4 wire kit, RM-164, to span the tow bar distance between the two vehicles. There is no standard for wiring the 4-way round so you will have to use a circuit tester, PTW2993, to test the wires and wire the connector according to the wiring of your existing connector. I have posted links to the parts mentioned above and our wiring help page below.
