Abstract

An auxiliary lighting system using a trailer plug is disclosed. A signal may be transmitted from a vehicle's trailer plug to an auxiliary implement, such as a snowplow assembly. In one embodiment, the auxiliary implement may be attached to the front of the vehicle. The signal can be sent through a wire bundle. With this invention, the auxiliary lighting system does not require rewiring of the vehicle's wiring harness.
