1998 Ford Expedition - Hopkins Magnetic Tow Lights - Red LEDs - 4-Way Flat Connector - Wireless
- Removable Tail Light Kit
- Bypasses Vehicle Wiring
- Magnetic Mount
- Universal
- Hopkins
Removable LED lights provide signal lights for your towed car without you having to tap into the car's wiring or run wires under the car. Wireless transmitter plugs into your RV's 4-way connector and sends a signal to the magnetic lights.
Features:
- Removable tow lights provide stop, tail, and turn functions for your trailer or towed car
- No need to wire your trailer or tap into wiring on your towed car
- Wireless transmitter eliminates the hassle of running cords to the lights every time you tow
- Plugs into 4-pole flat trailer connector on RV or tow vehicle and mounts to the frame with a magnet
- Emits a signal that triggers tow lights from up to 65' away
- Operates on a standard 12-volt system
- Heavy-duty, non-scratch magnets on the lights provide a secure grip without damaging your paint
- Long-lasting LEDs are more efficient, faster acting, and brighter than incandescent lights
- Sonically sealed lenses keep moisture out and prevent corrosion
- Durable polycarbonate bases house batteries
- On/off switch lets you use the lights as needed, conserving battery power
- 8 AA batteries (not included) are required to power the lights
- Flashing LED on driver's-side light indicates low battery
- Department of Transportation compliant
Specs:
- Application: towed cars or trailers no wider than 80"
- Light diameter: 4"
- Length of wire between lights: 106"
- Transmitter wire length: 76"
- 90-Day warranty
These wireless, removable tow lights make it easy to add running lights, brake lights, and turn signals to your towed car or trailer. With this setup, you won't need to tap into existing wiring for installation. With other magnetic tow lights, you have to run cords from the lights to the front of the towed car or trailer every time you need to tow. These tow lights work wirelessly to eliminate that hassle. And the wireless design also allows you to move the lights from one vehicle to another in minutes.
The lights attach directly to any metal surface with the included heavy-duty, non-scratch magnets, which won't damage your paint. And the handy on/off switch lets you use the lights only when you need them, saving battery power.
Setup is simple. Plug the included transmitter into the 4-way flat trailer connector on your RV or tow vehicle. The transmitter mounts to the frame of the RV or tow vehicle using the built-in magnet. Turn the switch on the driver's-side light to "on," and attach the tow lights to the back of the towed car or trailer, as far apart as is practical. Secure any excess wire between the 2 lights with a twist tie.
Each light is powered by 4 AA batteries (not included). A blinking LED indicator on the face of the driver's-side light signals low battery. This indicator should be checked every 2 hours to be sure your lights still have adequate power.

Have issues with lights blinking erratic
by: John K07/15/2016
Ordered these because my car towing wiring had a problem and didn't have time to get it fixed. First set arrived but had a manufacturing defect and right hand light didn't work (not etrailer's fault!). Called etrailer and they were very accommodating in sending out a second set which arrived in time. The second set worked perfectly. Good service and extensive follow up by etrailer shows they care. I'll use them for other purchases any time!
by: Daniel 03/21/2023
Test connection went perfectly. Will see how it goes when we hit the road in May. The lights look well made and should last me a long time.
Thank for the great service!

No big deal, install batteries and put on toad !
Should have done this years ago before they cut into my tail light wiring and also had to deal with rusted out 4 prong plug in over the years.

Lincoln MKZ
These things are the best thing since sliced bread!
We have a Lincoln MKZ that already has a hitch on the rear for towing a small enclosed trailer. The thought of having to "hard" wire in a wiring harness for towing behind the motorhome that would still allow the trailer to be towed was not a task I was looking forward to. etrailer suggested these as an alternative. Literally plug and play. Just plug the transmitter into the motorhome, install batteries and attach the magnetic based lights to the trunk of the MKZ and presto! DONE! I hooked the car up behind the motorhome and ran it down the freeway at 60-65 mph and all was good. Worked straight out of the box! Fantastic product!

Saturn Ion
These work well, bright. They do eat up regular Duracell batteries. After first use of these I switched to Lithium Ion. The lights were noticeably brighter in the daylight sun. The life of the batteries has drastically improved service. I have a habit of removing the batteries when not in use to enable greater duration; they do have an on/off switch built in, but it's so simple to remove them in case of phantom degradation. Over-all, I am very happy with these and installation on the car is a snap. Love them so far. Would buy/recommend to others.
by: John08/10/2022
I bought the wireless Hopkins tow lights to temporarily tow my new Jeep behind our Motorhome until I could wire the taillights permanently. I liked them so well that I have never wired the Jeep and only use the wireless taillights.

2011 Ford Taurus
Was absolutely 100% delighted with this product. Drove a total of 2600 miles in all kinds of weather and traffic conditions and these lights worked perfectly. Batteries lasted all most to the end of the trip. I'd recommend this set up to everyone who cannot afford to have wiring redone on a vintage trailer.

Lights work great, and battery life is better than expected. Only issue is potential for paint damage... I recommend that the manufacturer consider a softer landing pad to reduce potential for paint scratches.

It has worked out fine and as advertised. the manufacture needs to work out a quick charge system, with external jacks, or a large external rechargeable battery pack for tow-able vehicles for RVs that go on multi day tows.

See what our Experts say about this Hopkins Tow Bar Wiring
- How to Flat-Tow a 2004 Saturn Ion Behind a Pickup TruckI am not sure what you mean by "mid" but the only 2004 Saturn Ion that can be flat-towed with all four wheels on the ground are the ones with a manual transmission. If you do have a manual transmission then you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, flat-tow wiring harness, safety cables, supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. I have attached my recommendations for each of these parts below. For a base plate kit I recommend the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit part # DM9518151...
view full answer... - Temporary Trailer Light RecommendationThe closest thing to what you described would be the Hopkins Magnetic Tow Lights # C6304. These are tow lights designed for temporary use when flat-towing. You would have to check with your local laws and regulations on trailer lights, but technically these would work well for you. These lights attach with powerful magnets.
view full answer... - Why Will the Hopkins Magnetic Tow Lights not Work on a Couple of my TrucksThere should be no issues going from manufacturer to manufacturer with the Hopkins Magnetic Tow Lights with 4-Way Flat Connector part # C6304. There can be a few exceptions however. On some Fords there was an issue where the towing package or mode had to be on for the wiring adapter to receive signals from the wireless transmitter. There are some vehicles that do not recognize the light or efficient draw we get from LED lights. This high efficiency can sometimes "fool" certain vehicle's...
view full answer... - Recommended Flat Towing Setup For 1982 Jeep CJ-7I would be happy to recommend a flat towing setup for your 1982 Jeep CJ-7. Since the only base plate kit confirmed to fit your Jeep is the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518112 which will work with the standard front bumper, you will not be able to use the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-501. Luckily there are other tow bars out there that will work great with this base plate kit. I recommend using the Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar - Victory Series # DM9511012 which has...

Keep in mind that you will also need a tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and most likely a high-low adapter. The Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 and the RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643 will...
view full answer... - How To Install a Flat-Tow Wiring Harness on a 2005 Jeep Wrangler with Trailer Wiring HarnessI do have options for you but it's largely going to depend on what trailer wiring harness you have installed on your 2005 Jeep Wrangler. The best and most simple solution for you would be to just use a set of magnetic tow lights, the MaxxTow Magnetic Tow Lights part # C6304. However, we do have hardwire options for you as well. If you have a factory trailer wiring harness then you can use the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles part # HM56202 which is a plug and play...

- Recommended Tow Bar Wiring for 2018 Ford Edge SEL to Flat Tow Behind MotorhomeThere is not a custom fit tail light wiring kit like # HM56011 for your 2018 Ford Edge SEL model. That is only a fit for Sport and Titanium models. For your SEL model, I recommend the Hopkins Magnetic Tow Lights - Red LEDs - 4-Way Flat Connector - Wireless # C6304 for your tow lighting needs. There is not a confirmed fit for anything other than a lighting system that bypasses your factory lighting at this time.
view full answer... - Can a Jeep J-10 Be Flat-TowedI was able to find online that others were able to flat-tow a Jeep J-10 so you can take that as you see fit but I do not have an official statement on this unless otherwise noted in your owner's manual. The process that others have used is as follows: 1: Unlock Hubs 2: Place Transmission In 1st Gear 3: Place Transfer Case In Neutral 4: Leave Steering Column Unlocked The parts you will need to flat-tow the above are a tow bar, the Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms part # C19745...
view full answer... - Tail Light and License Plate Solution for Transporting Covered BikesThe best solution we have is to use the Thule License Plate Holder # TH35JV for the license plate part of your problem and then adding magnetic towing lights like the Wireless Hopkins # C6304 (you need 8 AA batteries # DU58QR) or Optronics # TL21RK so your tail lights are still visible. Since your Swagman XC2 Bike Rack # S64650 will be covered with the bag you'll need to get creative with the mounting straps for the Thule License Plate Holder but it's the best option for your application. To...
view full answer... - Can a 1995 GMC C/K Series Pickup Be Towed Behind Another VehicleIt is possible to flat-tow a 1995 GMC C/K Series Pickup. However, you will need a lube pump if you have a C1500 or you will need to disconnect the drive shaft if you have a K1500 without manual transfer case. In order to flat-tow the vehicle you will need a tow bar like the Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms part # C19745 and a lighting kit like the Hopkins Magnetic Tow Lights part # C6304 at the very least.
view full answer... - Magnetic Flat Towing Light Recommendation with 4-Way ConnectorThe Hopkins # C6304 LED magnetic tow light set is a good choice. The have good reviews and has a 4-way connector like you need. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
view full answer... - Will Magnetic Tow Lights Work through a Plastic Cover on a Steel Jeep BumperThe magnets on the tow lights like # C6304 are strong but I am not sure if they will work well enough with a plastic cover over the metal bumper of your Jeep. What I recommend is to go wit ha different type of kit, like # EZT20B that you could hook to the Jeep somewhere and not worry about magnets. Of you could secure some tow light partners, # TLP01, to provide a metal surface for the magnetic lights.
view full answer... - Magnetic Tow Bar Lighting Kit Recommendation with Magnetic BaseFor a magnetic set of LED tow bar lighting the Hopkins part # C6304 is a great option. But you should note that this is a wireless kit that requires batteries (lithiums to be specific). These have a stronger magnet and are LED.
view full answer... - Will the Tekonsha T-One # 118461 Carry the Emergency Flasher Signal on a 2009 Subaru Outback WagonYes, the Tekonsha T-One # 118461 uses a standard 4-Way Flat connector which carries running lights, left brake/turn signal, right brake/turn signal, and the ground. The flasher signals would draw off both the left brake/turn signal and the right brake/turn signal. This is a confirmed fit for your 2009 Subaru Outback Wagon and I have attached an installation video for you to reference. If you don't already have lights I recommend the Hopkins Magnetic Tow Lights # C6304. These don't connect...

Thank you for coming to us here at etrailer. For base plates you can use Roadmaster EZ2 Base Plate Kit # 523174-1 which features removable arms to help reduce bruised shins. I recommend the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-501 and safety cables # RM-643. For a braking system the portable Patriot # BLU37TR is a great choice for its easy installation and set-up...
view full answer... - Recommendations For Replacing A Burnt Out Bulb In Magnetic Towing LightsMost of the time the lenses on magnetic tow lights will be able to just pop off, but not always. If there is a gap between the lens and the base, it will work. If there is no gap and the lens is sealed to the base, you will need to replace the whole unit with something like the Hopkins Magnetic Tow Lights # C6304. The LED lights will tend to last much longer than incandescent lights and will draw less power, so it is highly recommended. If you do have the gap and can get the lens off,...

- Base Plate Options for 2006 Chevrolet Express VanBlue Ox does offer the Universal Bolt-On Adapter Tabs, # BX88266, which could be mounted to the metal bumper of your 2006 Chevrolet Express Van but it will most likely need to be reinforced or modified. Please keep in mind that these brackets must be mounted to a flat surface. The universal brackets are designed for use with Blue Ox tow bars like the Alpha, # BX7365. I have included an article for you which covers the basics of flat towing. To complete your set-up, you may still need...
view full answer... - Where Should I Stick My Magnetic Tow Lights On My Ford Maverick?If I were you, I'd just stick the lights # C6304 to the roof of your Maverick and call it good. They'll be up high enough where anyone on the road will be able to see them, and they won't potentially slip off because they're getting ideal metal on magnet contact.
view full answer... - Availability of Plug-In Tow Bar Wiring Kit for 2020 Jeep Wrangler UnlimitedI do have a great lighting solution for you, however the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # HM56200 that you referenced won't work on your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. This custom harness is designed to fit earlier model Wranglers (up through the 2018 model year) and isn't compatible with the new generation. There isn't a similar custom plug-in harness available for your Jeep. If you'd rather not splice into the factory wiring on the vehicle (which I can certainly understand) another...
view full answer... - Does Heat Affect Hopkins Magnetic LightsThank you for your purchase directly from etrailer of the Hopkins Magnetic Tow Lights # C6304. It may be possible for extreme heat to affect any electronics, though it's impossible to say if that is the cause. Since you already tested the lights and it shows a connection, really the only thing to do is get a replacement, there isn't a fix for this. It does have a 90-day warranty, though if that is out I would consider something more robust, like the lifetime warranty that comes with the...
view full answer... - How to Flat-Tow a 2012 Nissan Juke AWD Behind Another VehicleI was not able to reference a 45 mph speed restriction anywhere in the owner's manual for a 2012 Nissan Juke AWD. The speed restriction I found was 70 mph. However, the only AWD models that can be flat-towed with all four wheels on the ground are the ones with a manual transmission. If you have an automatic transmission then you will need to use a trailer with all four wheels off the ground. If you do have the manual transmission then in order to tow the vehicle behind your Jeep Grand...
view full answer... - Easiest Tow Dollies To Maneuver When UnloadedThe Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly # DM9713093 is our lightest tow dolly at only 510lbs. This would be the easiest to manuver in open areas and it has a tongue jack with a caster wheel. For smaller areas the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045 may be the better option as when folded it is only 67" long versus the X above at 147" long. Be sure to verify with your state laws to determine if additional Tow Lights # C6304 are required.
view full answer... - Compatibility of Blue Ox # BX2800 Base Plate Kit with Older Aventa II Tow BarThe Blue Ox # BX2800 base plate kit is compatible with your Fiat 500 Sport, and the plate kit is also compatible with the Aventa II Tow Bar you have, according to Blue Ox. To safely flat tow your vehicle, you'll also need safety cables (usually included with Blue Ox Tow Bars), a lighting solution like # C6304 and a supplemental braking system like the Roadmaster # RM-9400. I'll link you to several of our Flat towing articles that you might find helpful.

Most of these have a 20-foot 4-pole flat type trailer connector, such as # TL21RK (which I like for its strong heavy-duty magnets and low price). We also have a Hopkins wireless kit # C6304, available at a higher price point, which requires use of 8 AA batteries but which gives a range of up to 65-feet. We also have amber warning light products, also...
