2013 explorer toad wiring?

Question

Hello everyone. I`ve been looking for a plug and play wiring kit for our Explorer. I don`t want to cut into the factory wiring to install diodes and such, I can do it but I`de rather it be plug and play like the kit we put in my buddy`s `11 Focus. I`ve come across universal kits but nothing vehicle specific. Anyone know of anything available?

Thanks!

There are universal kits that supply separate bulbs and wiring that install inside the rear light housing and plug in like a simple trailer.   You can get wired or wireless magnetic lights that stick to top of vehicle.( makes it look like it is being taken away by a tow truck ).  Roadmaster makes a separate lighting kit.

Plug and Play by Tekonsha, Demco and Hopkins all listed HERE.Oops, sorry wrong end of the car.  Try those three anyway but Bargman is a possibility and etrailer.com may have something.

Thanks. I asked etrailer and they have nothing. I don’t want the magnetic lights. Looks cheap and will scratch the paint when put on and off in the same area all the time. I guess I will have to go with the splice kit.

Thanks everyone.

Try contacting Hopkins directly.Also remember that many "newer" vehicles now have LED brake/tail lights which can not be connected in parallel to the TV light.  Also, many "newer" vehicles now electronics that "monitor" even incandescent bulbs for proper operation

I have searched and couldn't find anything when I did our 2014. Bit the bullet and installed the diodes, bought a universal kit from e-trailer. Good Luck!
