Hi Brad, 
	I keep a set of these in the truck and in the trailer for "emergency situations". See: http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsearch/result?q=magnetic+tow+lights They go on  sale (for $10.00) about once a month.

I told my wife the other day when I had to take off on short notice to get my son’s car how happy I was to hook up and have all the lights working. Way too many times in the past I’d spend time fiddling with the lights to get them to work. From the time it was built it had Scotchlok connections everywhere. And as Spencer said…they work for a while. But for something exposed to the elements they aren’t a long term solution.
