Alright, I pull my trailer with my wife's H3. The H3 is in the shop, and I don't know if I will have it back before this weekends Glamis trip...If I don't get it back, I will be using my in-laws Expedition. My power plug does not match to the one on the Expedition. It is an open trailer. I have heard that if you can see the taillights of the truck, you do not need to have the taillights on the trailer. I have never pulled my trailer without the lights hooked up. Does anybody know the rules? I will probably just go buy an adapter to make it work. Just wondering if what I heard is true?

That may be a state law ... I have never heard of it over here.

Look at it like this..... you want people to see you.... you want people to be aware when you are braking or turning.... especially towing.....especially your toys.

BUY the adapter --- less than a ticket -- A LOT less than an accident --- AND you will have it there for back up -- in case you need it again.
now go get it -- :whip:

I am going to. Just wondering if anyone has heard of it.

If the trailer has a lic. plate then you better have lights.

 

[AL Elks]

That's the law in NC but it could depend on the state.

I believe in order to use the lights on the vehicle the trailer has to be less then a certain length, but i dont really know what size its limited to

 

[Kracker]

I think you are right. I see trucks pulling cement mixers and stuff like that all the time with no lights.

I'll make sure I bring some extra cash to bail you out of jail...

Locked up in Brawley County! :lol:

I will have lights.

yeah you need lights. they sell adapters for the light plug on your truck to the flat 4-pin that you prob have on the trailer. I have every one, seems like all my friends have different plugs on their trailers. <_<

Either that or make sure you pack soap on a rope.... :lol: :lol: :lol:
