For any of you that have constant problems with your trailer lights, I thought I would pass this info on.

I bought a set of wireless tow lights at Pepboy's auto parts store about 4 months ago for 149.00 and they work pretty darn good. I used them on my Bayliner boat trailer and to pull my car behind my RV last.

You can strap these on or use the magnets 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. 

Last week I went into a Northern Tool store to buy a new trailer hitch ball and found they are selling these same lights. I sure like mine and wished they would have came out with these a long time ago.  Would have save me a lot of headaches.

Cool concept, just a little pricey for me. I got some LED trailer lights at Harbor Freight for $25 and redid all the wiring on my boat trailer. I just soldered everything ad it has been working great.
Friends are like buttcheeks..........crap might separate them, but they come together in the end.

Just remember, most things wireless, can be stolen, so find a way to secure them or don't forget them.

I would get sick of changing the batteries. I dont see the benefit of them for that price.

Yeah.... but no last minute... :censored:!!! my connector is freakin corroded/smashed/frozen etc....(not to mention the bulbs/wiring going bad...)yeah thats alot of mula, but the idea is great!  give it a bit and the price will come down.... just like LED lights are now.... not long ago a trailer set was $60 or more...

I think these sets are intended for a temp solution when needing lights.  Towing a car for example, not something I think I would want to install as a permanent installation. Many a dirt road I drive on would shake them babies off.  :doah:
