This kit is designed with high-intensity LED bulbs that are brighter and more compact than traditional bulbs, ensuring excellent visibility in all conditions. The best part? No need to worry about tapping into your vehicle's existing wiring. These lights operate independently, powered by the towing vehicle. With a generous 26' wiring harness length, installation is convenient even for larger vehicles.
Blue Ox is known internationally for recreational and commercial towing products, manufacturing in Pender, Nebraska since 1925. The line covers tow bars and vehicle-specific baseplates for flat towing behind a motorhome, sway control and weight distributing hitches, supplemental braking accessories and towing wiring, backed by patented designs and long-standing customer service.
Blue Ox has manufactured since 1925 and is recognised internationally for towing products and customer service. The company operates from Pender, Nebraska, where it grew out of Automatic Manufacturing Co., a business that started with cattle oilers and developed into agricultural equipment, tractor accessories and trailer towing hardware. That agricultural engineering heritage still shows in how the towing products are built, and the company holds patents across weight distribution, fifth wheel and tow bar designs.
Flat towing is the discipline Blue Ox is best known for. Towing a car with all four wheels on the ground behind a motorhome demands a system that stays rigid under braking, articulates properly over uneven ground, and connects to the towed vehicle at points strong enough to take the load. Blue Ox tow bars handle the first two, with self-aligning arms that latch under tension and release without a struggle when the load is off them. Vehicle-specific baseplates handle the third, engineered per make and model to tie into structural mounting points behind the fascia.
The wider flat towing range covers supplemental braking systems, safety cables and the accessories that make a complete legal setup, along with baseplate wiring and dinghy towing harnesses that pass lighting signals to the towed vehicle without back-feeding its electrical system.
For conventional trailer towing, Blue Ox weight distributing hitches with integrated sway control transfer tongue load onto the tow vehicle's front axle and resist the yaw that crosswinds and passing trucks induce.
The company describes its foundation as customer service, designing around what owners actually ask for, and it runs an RV park adjacent to the factory where customers can stay. Sister operations at the same Nebraska site include Automatic grain roller mills and MAD-RAMPS pivoting ramp systems.

The kit includes 2 red LED bulb and socket assemblies (part 294-1058), a 26-foot wiring harness (294-0562), 12 feet of 16 gauge brown wire (229-0540), 12 feet of 16 gauge green wire (229-0541), 6 butt connectors for 16-14 gauge wire (294-0250), 1 ring terminal for 10-12 gauge wire (294-0327), and 2 self-tapping screws (201-0654).
The manual does not specify which vehicle makes, models, years, or body styles are compatible. It states the kit is for towed vehicles with tail light assemblies and requires a 4 or 6 pin connector on the towing vehicle front. Contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051 to confirm compatibility with your specific towing and towed vehicle combination.
No, not without an additional component. If your towing vehicle is equipped with separate amber turn signals and red brake lights (a 5-wire system), you will need a tail light converter (not included in this kit) to convert the amber/red 5-wire system to the standard red-only 4-wire system that this kit requires.
You will need a wire terminal crimper, wire stripper, small wire cutter, Phillips screwdriver, electrical tape, and a 1/2 inch drill bit. Blue Ox recommends that a trained professional install this kit due to the risk of improper wiring causing blown fuses, damaged wiring, fire, or bodily injury.
Starting in the engine compartment of the towed vehicle, run the 26-foot harness through the firewall, under the driver's side door sill plate, under the back seat, into the trunk area. Alternatively, you can run the harness through the engine compartment and beside the frame rail to the back of the vehicle. The routing depends on your motorhome setup.
The bulb and socket assemblies are installed into the backside of the vehicle's tail light assemblies. The location should be as flat as possible with enough clearance for the bulb on the inside and the socket on the back side. You will drill a 1/2 inch hole at the selected location for each socket.
Yes, drilling is required. You must use a 1/2 inch drill bit to drill one hole into each tail light housing at the selected location where the bulb and socket assemblies will be installed. The location should be as flat as possible with adequate clearance for the bulb inside and the socket on the back side.
The black/red wire is the brake/turn signal wire. The brown/white wire is the tail light wire. The white/green wire is the ground wire. Note: Original kit inventory had red/green/white wiring; newer inventory uses standard black/brown/white wiring. Refer to the wiring diagram on page 2 to confirm your kit's wire colors.
Run the black/red and brown/white wires from the passenger's side socket to the driver's side where the four-wire loom is located. Then crimp the three brown/white wires together. Crimp the green turn signal/brake wire from the four-wire loom, the green wire, and the black/red (brake/turn signal) wire from the passenger's side together. Refer to Figure 1 on page 2 for the complete wiring diagram.
The white/green (ground) wires should be grounded to the frame using ring terminals and self-tapping screws. At the driver's side, connect the white wire from the four-wire loom with the white/green wire from the driver's side socket, then ground this connection to the frame. Ensure all ground connections are secure, as loose ground connections are a common cause of lights not working properly.
At the driver's side socket, connect the black/red (brake/turn signal) wire with the yellow (brake/turn signal) wire from the four-wire loom. Refer to Figure 1 on page 2 for the complete wiring diagram.
Yes, the LED bulbs are polarity sensitive. You must ensure they are installed correctly. If the lights do not work properly after installation, check that the bulbs are oriented correctly in addition to verifying all wire connections and ground connections.
Before attaching the tail light assemblies back onto the vehicle, place the wires out of the way and test the system. A 4-wire or 6-wire trailer plug must be installed on the front of the towed vehicle using the 4-wire harness. Once installed, plug the vehicles together and test each turn signal and the brake lights. If lights do not work properly, there is likely a loose connection or wiring error. Recheck all connections, especially ground connections. After testing confirms proper operation, seal the socket to the tail light housing with silicone caulk and reinstall the tail light assemblies.
After testing confirms all lights work properly, seal the socket to the tail light housing with a good silicone caulk before reinstalling the tail light assemblies. This prevents water intrusion into the tail light housing.
A heavy duty flasher unit may be required in the towing vehicle to power the added circuit load of a towed vehicle. If the lights are dim, activate another light, or do not work properly, a heavy duty flasher unit may be the solution. Contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051 to determine if your towing vehicle requires one.
Blue Ox warns that improper wiring may result in blown fuses, damaged wiring, fire, and/or bodily injury. Blue Ox recommends that a trained professional install the tail light wiring kit and will not be responsible for any personal property damage or bodily injury caused by improper wiring or misuse of this product.
The kit fits towed vehicles with tail light assemblies and requires a 4 or 6 pin connector on the towing vehicle. If your towing vehicle has separate amber turn signals and red brake lights, you will need a tail light converter (not included). Contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051 to confirm fitment for your specific vehicles.
You need a wire terminal crimper, wire stripper, small wire cutter, Phillips screwdriver, electrical tape, and a 1/2 inch drill bit. Blue Ox recommends professional installation due to fire and injury risks from improper wiring.
Yes, you must drill a 1/2 inch hole into each tail light housing where the bulb and socket assemblies will be installed.
Yes, the LED bulbs are polarity sensitive and must be installed correctly. If lights do not work, verify bulb orientation along with all wire and ground connections.
Install a 4-wire or 6-wire trailer plug on the towed vehicle front, plug the vehicles together, and test each turn signal and brake light. If lights do not work, check for loose connections and verify ground connections are secure.
Possible causes include: a short circuit in the system on either or both vehicles; the towing vehicle alternator is too small; the towing vehicle wiring is too light to handle the extra power requirements; or the towing vehicle may require a heavy duty flasher unit to handle the extra load. Check for short circuits by testing continuity of all wires to ground. If the alternator or wiring is undersized, consult a professional electrician or contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051.
Possible causes include: a wiring error to the bulb and sockets; bad ground on either or both vehicles; a blown fuse in the towing vehicle; or a bad connection between the female and male plugs. Check continuity of all wires to ground to ensure the harness is not short circuited. Clean both four-way connections and verify all wire connections are solid, especially ground connections.
