does anyone have any idea for connecting tail lights for this new car. on our previous jeep wrangler we got a tail light adaptor that allowed the coach tail lights to operate the jeep tail lights. anyone with experiance on this. I will be installing new tow plates this wekend and want to get the lights working at the same time if posible. Thanks LArry

Has harnesses, I didn't check but they may have one for the Focus.
How do you like your Focus? My son got one in Dec. and really likes it.

On my 2009 Focus, that wiring harness is one piece all the way from the front to the back lights. I was hoping the same thing. I ended up putting stop, turn, tail leds on the back shelf, which I set up like trailer lights wired from the front of the toad.. Would still like something tied in with the regular tail lights, but will need diodes.

called them yesterday. got a call back as soon as they started work They are in washington and i am in tennessee. they sell a cable for the focus but you will have to cut and install into the existing wiring. They do not have the focus oem connectors. makes one wonder. anyway $153.00 I believe i will probably bite but want to look a little more.Larry
