Hopkins 48955 Towed Vehicle Diodes Kit

I was impressed how well that worked. On my Chevy van only two headlights were on in the bright position and also in the dim position. With this I was able to have all four lights on in front and twice the amount of visibility. I was very impressed with that.

I added some green LED lights to the under side of my 4Runner for while at camp lighting around the 4Runner and 4 of those lights double as open door lights which is where the isolators are used, that way my door lights don't turn all of the bottom lights on just the ones by the doors but I can hit a switch inside that turns all 8 of them on. Worked out great !

Installed these in my TOAD vehicle several weeks ago. It's a 1999 Chevy Metro. Towed twice with it, and works fine. My toad has separate turn signals. So I used these to wire the toad turn signals to be used as break lights as well, thus not using the factory orange turns signals on the toad while towing. It worked great. No back feeding power into the toad electrical system. To verify proper installation, I made a quick google search.

These were exactly what I was looking for. I was somewhat converse I couldn’t find a continuous current rating on the description, and they looked like cheap plastic in the photo. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE. These are pretty heavy duty, encamping a rubber feeling coating. These were even better than I’d hoped. I did not use them for towed vehicle lights as intended. I used them in line with some control relays to keep my low beams on when turning on the high beams. (ATV lights, not the fools on the highway). Anyway, I updated old halogen lights to new LED pods and put a light bar in as a hi-beam, but wanted to maintain the spotlight pods as well. Added bonus, I have 6 ATV’s to do and they come 4 to a pack!

These diode packs were used to install a flat tow system on a car. They are needed to isolate the car back tail, brake and turn signal lights from the tow vehicle (motor home in this case). The double connector end has one going the tail light power from the car and the 2nd connector on the double end would go to the tow vehicle tail light. Then the single connector end would be connected to the car tail lights and would turn on depending if powered by either the car switch or tow vehicle and prevent power feeding back to the car circuit when the tow vehicle is connected to the car. Hopefully this make sense. We needed 4 to complete the job. 1 for each tail light ( left and right) and one for each blinker/brake light.

All parts needed were with the kit. Installed on a ford ranger to pair tail lights with motorhome lights when being towed. Simple install. Video instructions online show step by step.

I got these to replace the ones that were installed by the U-Haul Trailer dealer on my F-150 so it could be flat towed by my motorhome. The ones they installed, they kept slipping off and unplugging my left tail light, so I bought these and I hooked them up myself, but still, they keep slipping off and unplugging my tail light. In addition, my aftermarket light bar which goes under my tailgate will NOT work with these connected. As soon as the blinker is turned on, the truck sees a short in the blinker system and shuts off. This doesn't happen if I bypass the diodes. Not just these, but any diodes.. I'm not sure why, the makers of the light bar told me to go to an aftermarket body shop... but I see the problem in the OBD codes and it's directly related to the diodes, but that shouldn't be happening.

used to isolate the vehicle's break and turn signal lights from the towing vehicle when it is used to provide the required lights with the vehicle under tow, There are various ones available but these are reasonably priced and are perfectly adequate for the job.

Everything you need to hook up your motor home lights to a towed vehicle. Saved a lot of money buying these and a roll of wire that costs you $150 as a kit. Very basic to install as well with instructions provided.

Good service, working good no problems

Simple install, a 5 year old could manage. So far so good!

Works as advertised. Easy to install

Just what I needed to wire the lights of my Jeep for towing
