Default Best way to connect H3 lights to rv for flat towing

Is there a “plug and play” connector kit available for flat towing the 2008 H3 behind my RV? I hate to cut into OEM wires. The electrical seems a bit weak on the H3 anyway and I’ve only added headlights.

Thanks in advance.
Kim

Cool

You may need to do more than lighting to tow the H3. They recommend a braking system too but that's up to you. Here's the owner's manual towing process:
Use the following procedure to tow your vehicle:

1. Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL (N).
2. Turn the engine off, but leave the ignition in ON.
3. Firmly set the parking brake.
4. Securely attach the vehicle being towed to the tow
vehicle.

{CAUTION: Shifting a full-time four-wheel-drive vehicle’s
transfer case into NEUTRAL can cause
your vehicle to roll even if the automatic
transmission is in PARK (P) or the manual
transmission is in any gear. You or others
could be injured. Make sure the parking brake
is firmly set before you shift the transfer case
to NEUTRAL.

5. Shift the transfer case to NEUTRAL (N). See
Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive on page 2-27 for
the proper procedure to select the NEUTRAL
position for your vehicle.
6. Put the transmission in PARK (P) for an
automatic transmission or in FIRST (1) for
a manual transmission.
7. Release the parking brake only after the vehicle
being towed is firmly attached to the towing
vehicle.
8. Turn the ignition off.
After towing, see “Shifting Out of NEUTRAL” under
Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive on page 2-27.
