"Wireless" Trailer/Towing Lights

[Steveusmc67]

Has anyone else used "Wireless" 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 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.

Two questions. 1) are they LED's and 2) what powers them? They sound pretty cool and would be great if they were made specifcally for boat trailers.

There are 24 LEDs in each light and each light is powered by 4 AA batteries. The instructions say that they will last 24 hours using lithium batteries. 12 hours night use and 12 hours daytime. I figure I travel to the lake once a week (about 1 hour) total per trip. One set of batteries should last me the entire summer if I don't use them for other hauls.

I really like'em!

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.
