"Wireless" Trailer/Towing Lights

[nam67steve]

Has anyone else used wireless tow lights?

I purchased a set at Pepboy's auto parts store a couple of months ago for 149.00 and I must say they work pretty darn good on my boat trailer. I used them on my utility trailer last week and to pull a car behind my RV last month.  You can strap them on or use the magnetic mounts on the bottoms. All you have to do is plug the transmitter into your towing vehicles trailer wiring plug and then mount the lights on your trailer or car.  The transmitter then sends the brake - turn signals  and  running lights information to the wireless tow lights.  Total hook up time for me was less then 1 minute. I will let you know in a couple of months how they are working out. 

Let me know if anyone else has a set of these..

P.S. I also found these same lights on the JCWhitney.com and WirelessTowLights.com web sites for those of you who do not have a Pepboys close.

Hey nam67steve welcome to the site. Great info..........

What a great idea ...are they submersable ? ...

[nam67steve]

The instructions say that they are "water resistant", but they also say that the lights are put together using rubber 0-rings.  I don't thing I am going to submerse them though...

No thanks, I'll stick with wired.

Hello Everyone,

My brother recently went into a "Northern Tool" store in Minnetonka MN. and found that they are also selling these Wireless Tow Lights in there stores.  For the heck of it I checked on line and found that Northern Tool is also selling the wireless tow lights on there web site too.

I have been wondering about these lights,  since I tow many different customers trailers, i can not count on the lights always working.  If I had a pair of wireless lights maybe I could just suction cup onto the back of the boat.  Most of my towing is back and forth to the ramp or houses anyway.   Maybe this would stop some of the blown fuses in my tow vehicle from $hitty wiring.  Allan

Alswagg,

Thats what is nice about these lights, you can put them on anything you are pulling.  I wished I had these a long time ago, it would have saved me a lot headaches..
