Wireless tow lights - recommendations

Our 2011 CRV dinghy is getting a little long in the tooth. LOTS of miles. Bought a 2014 CRV with only 90k over the weekend and so starting the process to set that up to tow. 10 years ago when I set up the old one, I went through the trouble of running an independent set of wires inside the taillight housing for the tow lights. Super clean and just plug in to tow. For the new toad I am wondering if a wireless set of taillights would be easier. Found these on Amazon.

Rated good, pretty simple to operate. Anyone have any feedback or another option that works well? I want to remain independent of the vehicle's own lights because I wanted to avoid running a battery charge cable and diode.

    We have used wireless tow lights on our vehicles for the past 7 years now with no issues. Ours take 4 AA Batteries each and are not rechargeable. The Batteries last for at least 10 days of driving, maybe more. I would be leary of purchasing wireless tow lights that only last 8 hours as the ones you posted do. Recharging every day on the road will get old fast. I would recommend you look for ones on Amazon with longer lasting Batteries.

      You bring up a good point on the run time. I didn't see where it's stated or reviewed that they only last 8 hours. Where does it say that? But yeah, if it's only 8 hours (and run time is certainly shortened with stop and go or running with lights on) You have a link to the one's you use?

      On edit; I saw some reviews mention the 8 hours and go further to say that the batteries lose life over time and limit to 4-5 hours. I may go back to the hard wired version that mount in the existing lens. Harder to run, but once set up super clean and just plug them in when towing. 

      These are the newer versions of the one I have now;

        In Amazon,  tap the picture of the lights and then scroll to the right about 4 times. Run time is listed in the top righthand corner. 

        These are the wireless tow lights I use. Great battery life.
