Miata taillight wiring

Need to hook up the taillights in my 99 to operate from the trailer light plug on my truck for flat towing. 

Truck is a 4 pin flat.

Miata is a 99.

Anyone know how to do this? Or a good link? My Google search skills suck on this one.

Have you already picked the point where you want to tap into the Miata harness?

Not sure about the 1999 but the earlier cars have two  connectors at the base of the driver's door that feeds the rear light harness ( and a bunch of other things) Might be the easy button to splice in your trailer light circuit from the tow vehicle.

Are you dead set on tapping in?  A magnetic set of extra lights like the tow truck drivers use seems like a simpler solution.  Something like this:

I thought about the magneticlights, but scared of beating the paint up. 

My thought was to run a sepeart harness the whole way to the taillights, but your solution is far simpler nohome.

Are you aware of the two connectors that I am thinking of? I believe you just reinstalled a wiring harness so are freshly familiar with the whole thing.

I think this is one connection, but yes. Same one. Had forgotten about it. 

Is there anything special about doing this? Like issues with backfeeding the harness, etc?

In reply to Dusterbd13-michael:

..was wondering the same thing myself. I cant see where it should be an issue. If really worried is it easy enough to pull the connector apart and plug in your towing pigtail ?

I thought you weren't supposed to flat tow a Miata.  The transmission doesn't get the lube required when doing so.

Ive seen that both ways. However, in this case the car has a gm t5 behind a v6.

T5 is supposed to be fine with flat towing .

Just put the mag lights on the roll bar!
