Toad Lights
Greg,
Magnetic mount tow lights might be an option...not quite as clean as I usually go for, but easy to transfer from one vehicle to another and safe as far as the toads electrical system goes. Might look at these: http://www.awdirect.com/awdirect/findite...temid=6215 Several others to choose from, including some wireless applications I believe.

It can sometimes be avoided by using diodes (direct DC current in only one direction), but it seems like most people don't like to take the chance of killing their car's computers. I read a post at least a year ago where a forum member suggested using a toggle switch disconnecting the circuit to the car's electrical system when using the toad behind the BB...sounded like a simple and positive fix to any feedback problem...switch flipped one way for towed vehicle, flip it the other way when driving the toad...something to consider...(I went the "add a bulb" and direct wire system with our Grand Cherokee...if I was going to do it again, I'd make a "light bar" that plugs into the toad's trailer hitch...Curt did this with his Bronco). Good luck...
