Towing Lights hookup
I am trying to hook into the vehicle light system for parking, turn and brake lights while I am towing the BII with a tow bar. What is the best way to do this so dont have to put a light bar on the back of the BII?
Are there any special connections that I would need?

You might try running a cable from the flat 4 trailer connector on the tow vehicle to the flat 4 on the BII. That should supply the lights to the BII. You might need an electronic flasher on the tow vehicle. If you don't have the flat 4 trailer connector on either vehicle you can simply do it by installing the plug-in type "T" connector for the BII and the tow vehicle @ ~$25 each.
I just remembered that at one time I used the U-Haul "tap-a-lights" and connected them through from the tow vehicle... Pretty inexpensive, you can use them in the tow and in the BII. Simple and easy. You may still want to use the electronic flasher on the tow still.
