Default MK1 Focus tow bar electrics

Can you get a genuine Ford set up that plugs into the loom somewhere as opposed to using the dredded scotch blocks?

for the mk1 focus i dont believe there is a plug in kit for towbar im afraid.later fords have preporation for a trailer module to be plugged into the system but not mk1 focus.
best way of joining it into the light harness is to strip back a section of wire,integrate the new loom,solder insulating tape,much tidier looking job

Default Mk1 Focus tow socket electrics

I agree. Better to solder. I'm looking to install a tailer socket soon to my Mk1 focus. My question is, do I need one of them 7 way smart bypass relays with their seperate 12v supply from battery or would I get away with piggy backing off the existing wires. I would definately install the buzzer relay for the indicators though in any case but was thinking of soldering stop/tail wires into existing loom. My old trailer only does the occasional trip to the tip (no caravan etc). Any ideas guys would be appreciated thanks?
