Question "Wireless" Trailer or Vehicle Towing Lights

Has anyone else used "Wireless" LED Trailer & Vehicle Magnetic Towing 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. I used them on my boat and utility trailer last week and to pull my 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 wireless LED lights on the internet at: Store.uhaul.com - sears.com - JCWhitney.com and WirelessTowLights.com web sites for those of you who do not have a Pepboys close.

I haven't got a set but my brother does and they really save time hooking them up. What a good invention whoever thought of it. It's always a problem having wires galore hanging from the trailer. Thumbs up!

That sounds like a great idea, but I've never heard of them before.

I recently moved some long wooden planks in my hatchback and tied a red T-shirt to the back of the wood sticking out of the car.

I assume you could attach the lights to long loads like that, as long as you had a trailer transmitter in the vehicle?

Hello Taggart,

Yes, I think these are perfect for pulling long loads. The instructions say that you can use on loads up to 100 feet. Just for the heck of it I walked my lights away from the transmitter just to see how far they would actually work (had my wife do the turning signals and brake lights in the vehicle) and I was able to go about 300 feet before they stopped working.. Pretty cool product..
