mikey229617 Report post Posted June 3, 2016 If I tow a vehicle behind my coach on a dolly that has full lighting and brakes, do I need to add additional lighting to the towed vehicle? If so, what is the best way to do that on a vehicle that has no metal to attached magnetic lights to? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted June 3, 2016 Welcome to the forum. When I was using my dolly I didn't need extra lights as the dolly had all the lights required. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hermanmullins Report post Posted June 3, 2016 In most states they require a red flag on anything that protrudes more 18" pass the end of the vehicle. I would assume the same would be the same for a trailer which a tow dolly is. Herman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the law requires lights further back than on the tow dolly you can splice into your existing wire harness with diodes and use the original lights. Another way if the light housing are large enough would be to install additional bulbs and wire it independently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaypsmith Report post Posted June 3, 2016 I made a light assembly with a "CAR IN TOW SIGN" between the lights, used a lightweight bicycle carrier that mounts into the receiver on the toad, also have an amber emergency flasher on top of the toad. I don't know about all states, but nothing can protrude more than 48 inches past the last lighting assemblies in Alabama. With the rig described above, nothing protrudes past the light assembly.
