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 used diode packs in both our current and previous RAV4 toads, in fact, the same diode packs. I found the simplest place to install them was behind the driver's side kick panel where all the rearing wiring is routed. That saved having to run wires all the way to the rear, and also made it easy to fully light the car when in tow. The directionals use the amber lights and the red lights for the brakes as expected. Even the high center brake light works as it should. The Toyota dealer we bought our then new 2011 RAV4 from had no issues at all with the towing mods, including the lights and Remco lube pump, as far as any warranty issues.
