Question about toad diode wiring
I presently use magnetic tow lights and have for years. I'm thinking about diode wiring to the toad's tail and brake lights and a question to myself arose. I understand how a diode works on dc power...

I use the magnetic lights, but with a slight twist: The lights sit, permanently, INSIDE the car, on the rear shelf behind rear seat head rests. Wires for such are easily hidden, go down into trunk, and are then wired under the car to the connector in front.
Never have to take them out or put them in, because they aren't in the way where they are and aren't a problem when driving the car normally. They stay where they are, permanently. And, a small piece of velcro on the bottom of them, makes them stick in place on the shelf back there just fine.
Its sort of a way of having the best of all worlds. Don't have to touch any of the wiring for the car, nor have to drill any holes or install separate lights, but still have a solution that stays in place, ready to go, all the time. And, very cheap, too. Only cost is for the magnetic lights themselves ($20), and some wire to the front of the vehicle. All of which easily transfers to the next vehicle, too.
