Optronics Towing Lights
Optronics Towing Lights: Safety-Engineered for the Road
When you're flat-towing a vehicle, hauling a trailer, or transporting equipment, having reliable, legal lighting at the rear is non-negotiable. Optronics has been a trusted name in vehicular safety lighting since 1972, and their towing lights reflect decades of engineering focused squarely on compliance, durability, and ease of use.
The Optronics Magnetic-Mount Towing Light Kit
The centerpiece of Optronics' towing light lineup is their magnetic-mount towing light kit — a solution designed for drivers who need a temporary, legally compliant lighting setup without permanent installation. The kit includes a pair of DOT-compliant stop/turn/tail lights and a 20 ft. wishbone-style wiring harness with a 4-way flat plug trunk connector. This means you can be road-legal in minutes, with no drilling, no splicing, and no specialized tools required.
Key features include a shock-proof socket that guarantees long bulb life, a replaceable lens and bulb, and strong magnetic bases engineered for legal highway operation — all on a 12-volt system. The 20-ft 18-gauge bonded wire harness is complemented by 63 inches of bonded wire running between the two towing lights, giving you the flexibility to mount them properly on a wide variety of towed vehicles.
For drivers who need a bit more reach, the heavy-duty magnetic-mount variant features a hardwired 25-ft. wiring harness that plugs into a standard 4-wire flat vehicle connector. Both configurations are built around the same plug-and-play philosophy — connect, mount, and go.
Built to DOT Standards
One of the most important qualities in any towing light is regulatory compliance. All Optronics lighting products conform to DOT/SAE/FMVSS/CMVSS 108 requirements where applicable. For towing applications, this means the stop, turn, and tail light functions meet the same federal standards required of factory-installed lighting — keeping you legal on public roads whether you're crossing state lines or heading down the block.
