Diodes are most commonly used in tail lights wired for towing. To be honest, the only other method I know of are the "extra" lights you attach to the tow vehicle with magnets.

Here is a very good link to the different ways to accomplish the lighting system
http://www.roadmasterinc.com/products/accessories/electrical.html
.
We tow a 2004 Chevy Cavalier and installed new taillights using the bulb and socket kit. It has worked very well for us and is easy to just plug the toad into the PC.
The advantage of using the bulb and socket kit or magnetic lights is you do not cut into the toads electrical system thus eliminating any question about vehicle warranty.
