How To Use Separate Magnetic Tow Lights on Tow Dolly with Brakes
Question:
If I use the Curt Echo brake controller with a master tow dolly that requires a 7 pin connector, how do I connect magnetic lights for the car being dolly towed?

It sounds like you're trying to use two separate trailer connectors together, one for the tow lights like the Flint Hill Goods Magnetic Tow Lights part # FHG96ZR and one for the tow dolly. We don't carry this exact tow dolly so I can't be sure but it sounds like it has electric brakes but no lights and uses a 7-way. The tow dolly lights will then use a 4-way. In order to have both you'd need to combine the two, the tow dolly and tow lights into one trailer connector, a 7-way. I recommend using a Junction Box # 3375601101 and 7-Way Connector # H20046 which would then plug directly into the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180.
If you want a bit of a nicer setup, we do offer the Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes part # RM-2050-1 which has electric brakes and built-in lights. It just needs the Pollak Black Plastic, 7-Pole, RV-Style Trailer Connector part # PK12706.
