Abstract: An electrical socket for connecting an electrical installation of a towing vehicle with an electrical installation of a trailer is provided. The electrical socket comprises a plurality of electrical connectors and a plurality of holes for receiving pins from an electrical plug to connect to the electrical connectors. The socket further comprises one or more light sources, a proximity sensor and a control unit for and a control unit for activating the light sources in response to the proximity sensor detecting a presence of a user at a distance around the socket below a predetermined threshold distance. An electrical kit for connecting an electrical installation of a towing vehicle with an electrical installation of a trailer comprising such an electrical socket is also disclosed.

Abstract: An electrical circuit for illumination of an accessory that is configured to be coupled to a tow hook of a vehicle is disclosed. The electrical circuit comprises a plurality of circuit blocks for different lights of the accessory, at least one of the circuit blocks comprises one or more LEDs in one or more luminous branches, a resistive load in a branch parallel to the luminous branches, and the resistive load being connected to the circuit block through a resistive load switch. The control system is configured to selectively close the resistive load switch in response to a measurement of electrical current in a first branch connecting the electrical socket with the luminous branches.
