Installing Blue Ox tow plates
Just bought a tow plate assy for my 07 Pontiac G6, looking for someone in OK to install it under 500.00. That's what I'm getting quoted, which seems high.

Instead of mounting the magnetic lights outside your vehicle, on your trunk lid, stand the lights up on the upholstered deck between the back seat and the rear window. That way they are safe inside the car.
Use a strip of velcro on the bottom of the lights and this will keep them from tipping over. The velcro will stick to the upholstered deck material.
The lights are perfectly visible from behind and in addition your toads brake lights still work as well. No hacking into your cars electric system, no pesky wires to run that might damage your paint, really no downside at all.
Yes, this is exactly what I did with our Ford Fusion (after learning the hard way about wires on the outside, haha). Works great.
I'm curious about the wireless magnetic tow lights you're talking about? Only thing I've seen like that are the wireless light bars that cost a fortune, and have batteries you'd have to recharge after every trip. Would be cool if they'd make a set that you could just plug or wire into 12V with your vehicle, so you wouldn't have to deal with batteries.
