Mini LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light - Submersible - 3 Diodes - Amber Lens

Video Transcript for Optronics Mini LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light Installation

Today we're going to be taking a look at and installing the mini LED trailer clearance and side marker lights with three diodes and an amber lens. We'll be installing the light in conjunction with the black chrome gasket as well as a snap-on polished chrome ring.This is what our light looks like installed. This would be a great choice for you if you needed to replace your light or even upgrade. The LEDs last a lot longer. As you can tell even in a bright room it puts out a significant amount of light.The light itself is 2-1/2 inches long, 1-1/8 inch tall and 5/8 of an inch thick. The measurement from center point to center point here in the screw holes is 1-3/4 inch.

The light is DOT compliant. You can mount the light horizontally or vertically. One thing I really like about the light is that it's LED, which means it's pretty much maintenance free, so once you install it you don't have to really worry about it.Speaking of installation, let me show you how to do that now. The back side of the light has two wires coming from it, both the power and ground wire, and it is sonically sealed. What that means is there's sealer around this circuit board here, so it is waterproof.

However, we don't recommend submersing it for a long period of time or having the light turned on when you're doing that.The first thing you want to do is check your mounting surface and kind of eyeball just to make sure that all your holes are going to line up and that you have the center hole. That way you can feed your wires through. If you need to make any adjustments or drill new holes, go ahead and do that now.If you're installing it with the foam gasket you would run your wires through the center hole and then through the mounting hole. If you're using it with a gasket and a chrome bezel, you'd simply put the chrome bezel over both of them and run your wires through.All right, next we need to identify our trailer's power wire, which we have here. We're going to connect this to our light's power wire, which is the black right here.

We're going to be doing that with a heat shrink butt connector, which you can find on etrailer.com, and crimp that down. Now we can use a heat gun to shrink our heat shrink here at the ends.Now using your existing hardware, or even some new hardware you pick up from your local store, we're going to secure our light to the trailer. With everything connected and secured, we went ahead and zip tied our wires up and out of the way. That way they're not bouncing around. The next thing we want to do is put power to the light to make sure it works.

As you can see, it does here.That will finish up our look and install on the mini LED trailer clearance and side marker lights with three diodes and an amber lens.
