Best 2018 Ford Focus Tow Bar Wiring Options- Video
Speaker 1: Today, we're going to be taking a look at the best tow bar wiring options for your 2018 Ford Focus.Whenever we're flat-towing our Focus, it's very important that the light functions on our motor home transfer over to our Focus, so everybody knows what's going on, whether we're slowing down and the brake lights come on, or if we turn our turn signal on to change lanes. There's going to be three basic types of lighting options that we're going to have available for our focus, so we'll take a closer look at those and go over some of the features.So the first style we're going to have is the diode style. Then the bulb and socket, and then finally, the removable lights. Now, the removable lights, there are a lot of different options available, and these are the tried-and-true versions that you may have seen a lot either on vehicles or on trailers. The basic way that these are going to work, is these lights typically have magnets on them. We'll mount them to the back of our vehicle, and then we'll have the length of wire that will run along the car and match up to our motor home.The big benefits of these is; is that it is going to be an external thing, and it's not going to be a permanent installation. more
