Detatchable Chase Lights??? Is that a thing?

[bsquaredMTB]

I go off-roading / camping every so often so I'd like to throw some chase on my Tacoma. I have the outlets in the back so I'm envisioning something I can attach temporarily and plug in then take off when I don't need them. Is that even a thing? Anyone have any suggestions?

I've never heard of this but out of curiousity, how would this be better than a good flashlight?

Something like this?

Edit: You might need a different harness to supply constant power though

This looks awesome! Anyone tried it? What's it like?

That could work if there was a way to mount it. I hadn't considered it.

Yeah that's an option too but I use the hitch for my bike rack so wouldn't work for me but that's a cool light

I have been using Guardian Angel lights for this EXACT thing for 10yrs now. They also work for moveable flood lights at night. They are magnetic but you can also buy different mounts for them. I personally pick the red/white combo.

Baja Designs makes one too. Looks like it plugs into trailer harness location... I'm sure you could find cheaper ones (and reviews) by googling Tacoma tow hitch light too. Good luck!

You could always mount one and wire up deutsch plugs exactly where you want them. Leave the wire routed and plug in where it's convenient. They also make mountable deutsch plugs you can cut into surfaces.

Perhaps this then?
