Parts are missing... there is no way to connect the trailer lights to wire harness. The adapter is missing. Lights are useless to me this way.

Again you Guys have made life easy with your video and helpful tips!
Like your shipping packages as well. Compact with little waste of materials.
I used this product as a light system for my motorcycle carrier when I haul my TW200. With the bike on the carrier the vehicle taillights are blocked.
The TL29K light kit was what I used to solve this problem.

The kit parts were good quality and clearly marked. The order arrived quickly and the kit was a good value.

I am very pleased with this product. Bought this kit to replace lights on a boat trailer from the 1980's.Install and wiring was easy to do with no problems. Lights worked great. Recommend this product.

Thanks Much, just got in from installing everything I ordered and it
all went on nicely. I rebuilt a 6' X 12' 1999 utility trailer
with treated lumber etc..........plus your parts, looks great. Thanks
again, going to do the same for another utility trailer I have, a
6' X 10, so, I'll be ordering from you later in the summer. Thanks
again

The light kit was shipped promptly and nicely packaged. Everything looks to be made of very good components. I will be insalling this kit on a mobility scooter carrier and 90% of what I need was included in this kit.

by: TomV11/03/2015
First off--Dealing with etrailer.com was a pleasure. The trailer light kit was just what we needed. Unfortunately our older trailer would not provide as good a ground as that required. The forward clearance lights worked fine but we had to individually ground the rear lights directly to the trailer frame next to the light mounts. Also, one of the rear lights, the one without the license plate light, had debris inside that precluded it lighting appropriately. After completely disassembling it we found wire shavings/cuttings that impeded a solid contact. Fortunately the co-owner of the trailer is an electrician and he had all the solutions. Alone I would have had to hire someone.

Lights continue to function appropriately after a year of exposure to Montana weather.
by: Charles P.01/23/2015
The trailer kit I ordered arrived in a timely fashion and the items included are solid nice looking pieces.
I reviewed the video on installation and found the wiring and installation of the lights to be extremely simple. I rewired my entire trailer, replaced the tail lights and added the running lights (did not have these before I ordered the kit) in about two hours. Could have done it faster but I was in no rush.
I would definately recommend the company and products to anyone in need of replacing wiring and/or lights.

Product is still in place, still working beautifully. Did have to replace on of the tail lights but that was due to an issue with the tilt in the trailer and the light getting smashed on a rock -
by: Dane09/17/2022
The product was fine, etrailer however packed heavy items with this causing one light to be smashed. Fortunately, not a part I absolutely needed so not worth the effort to RMA this.

Thank you for reaching out about this. I have sent your information to our customer service team already and they will be getting in touch with you.

Can't beat the prices and product selection. I was able to get bearings, races and seals to do two hubs for what I would have paid to do one locally. Although the bearing kits were made in China, they appeared to be a better quality bearing than the China bearings I removed from the hubs. No issues with packaging or shipping. Not only can one find parts here but, lots of good info and support as well.

The trailer I installed the parts on belongs to my 93 yr old neighbor. Needless to say, it is used very little. He and his son were planning on using it and wanted me to check it out before doing so. Thats when I discovered the need for new bearings and seals. He also wanted it road worthy for any of the neighbors that might need to borrow it. However, what time it has been used, it has done exceptionally well. Very smooth and quiet and although I had a bit of difficulty getting the pigtail to plug into the connection on the truck, all lights are working for the first time in many years. Thank you for checking in on us. Have a blessed day.
by: Trent09/13/2016
I haven't installed the lights yet as I'm waiting to get the trailer sandblasted and painted. But, it's exactly what I needed and I'm sure they're gonna work out just fine. eTrailer has a great lighting selection to choose from including LED's.

I still like them just fine. Never an issue with either the hitch or the lights. Thanks
by: Keith08/10/2022
The connection (wire to taillight) for this trailer light kit is extremely flimsy and clearly not intended for external mounting. I ended up reordering submersible tail lights to get a more rugged connection. The wiring harness is fine and the tail lights work but the connection is flimsy.
It's very inexpensive but a few dollars more for a more rugged set of lights is probably a better buy.
by: D08/17/2018
Looks nice, but no instructions whatsoever. The lights have copper holes in them, that are partially labeled, but some of the labels don't make any sense. And how can you stuff a twisted wire into a hole, it just doesn't work. How many engineers does is take to screw up a simple trailer light set? A pain in the butt, I wish I have never bought them. Will not by these sorts of things on line again, will go to local farm stores.

Each lamp will have two holes that are used for connection points. On the drivers side, one hole is for the brown wire, which is the running lamps. The other is for the left turn/brake lamp, which is the yellow wire. On the passenger side, one hole is for the brown running lamp wire, the other for the green right turn/brake lamp wire. To the wires, use a small flat blade screwdriver and push it in the small hole under the larger hole where the wire s. Push the stripped wire in until it stops, then remove the screwdriver. This locks the wire into place.

TL29BK was easy to order, was delivered in a timely manner, and was a perfect match replacement for my 2010 Singer, Utility trailer. I was very much pleased and will certainly order from etrailer again if replacement parts are needed.

- Wiring Trailer Lamp With Red and Black WiresOn the taillight itself, the black is typically the running lamp and the red is usually the brake lamp and turn signal. As far as the wiring on your trailer goes, the brown wire is for the running lights, the yellow is for the left turn signal/brake lamp and the green wire is right turn and brake lamp. If the lamp doesn't have a dedicated white ground wire, it will get its ground connection through its connection to the trailer frame. I've linked to some trailer wiring diagrams that you'll...

- Lighting Requirements for an 8-1/2-Foot Wide Trailer for Use in CaliforniaYou came to the right place. There are very specific requirements for trailer lighting that depend on the dimensions and gross weight of the trailer. Trailers over 80-inches wide - including yours - have very specific minimum requirements for clearance and marker lights. The linked article explains these requirements in complete detail, with diagrams, and it even includes links to get you to the right items. I have also provided a link to the main product page for trailer lights. You...
view full answer... - Do All Lights Need to be Grounded on a Trailer with Incandescent Lights?With incandescent lights, you do not need to ground both lights. This is something that needs to be done with LED lights due to them drawing significantly less power. However, if you will upgrade to LED lights at some point, it never hurts to have everything already run to where it needs to be.

The one pin that is different from the other three (on both trailer and vehicle side connectors) will be the ground pin and this usually has a WHITE wire that will ground to a clean bare metal spot the trailer frame with a ring terminal.

- Replacement Tail Light for 1998 Jayco Travel TrailerTrailer manufacturers do not often maintain original parts information (or availability) for items such as lights, but we can certainly help you find a suitable replacement. You may want to just install a whole new light kit like # TL29BK or a high-efficiency LED kit # TLL9RK. This will avoid the same problem of no replacement part if the other light on your trailer should be damaged. Both kits include lights, a license plate bracket and all hardware. If you prefer to replace just the...

- Recommended Towing Lights in California for Small Trailer with 2014 Toyota PriusThe magnetic towing kit you reference is designed for flat towed vehicles and should not be used for trailers. We do have standard trailer light kits like # TL29BK which use a 4 pole connector. I have included a video review of this kit that you can check out.

When trailer lighting does not have a sufficient ground many different scenarios can show up, but the most prevalent is when the most amperage is applied, like tail lights on and brake pedal pressed, the lights go out.

view full answer... - New Trailer Light Kit Not Working with 2 VehiclesSince none of the lights of the light kit # TL29BK work I'm guessing the problem is with the white ground wire. Make sure it's grounded to a clean, bare metal surface on the trailer's steel frame. If your trailer has an aluminum frame then you need to run a wire from the connector's white wire back to the mounting studs of each light in order to get a good ground. As far as wiring goes the wires are green for right turn and brake lights, yellow for left turn and brake lights and then...

- How to Attach a Trailer with a 3-Way Connector to a Vehicle with a 7-Way ConnectorA 3-way trailer connector is extremely rare and they really do not make any sort of adapter that will allow you to use this trailer connector with a 7-way connector. The only option that I have for you would be to replace the 3-way trailer connector with a 4-way trailer wiring harness and then use a 4 to 7-way trailer connector adapter. It is required by law in most states that your trailer has turn, brake, and running lights therefore if your current trailer's lights do not have these...

view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Taillights that Have Power but Do Not FunctionAre you referring to the trailer wiring kit you bought from us or the trailer lights I see that you ordered at same time? I would assume it's the light kit part # TL29BK which since you tested and the lights have power ran to them that would indicate the issue is the ground circuit. These ground through the mounting hardware so make sure they are mounted to a clean metal surface. If you tested them before mounting them that would be why they aren't functioning since they wouldn't be grounded.

view full answer... - Right Turn Signal Only Works when Brakes Applied on Trailer Towed by 2010 Hyundai TucsonThis sounds like a ground issue since it is just the turn signal on the right side.. What you will want to do is make sure that the main trailer connector ground and the light grounds are all attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. Also make sure the trailer and vehicle side connectors are clean and that the trailer wiring converter on the vehicle, unless it was a factory harness, is properly grounded to bare metal.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Running Lights Not WorkingThere are many, many different reasons why your lights could not be working. In many cases a bad ground is to blame for this type of issue, but in order to determine the specific problem you will need to use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to test the connector on your vehicle after disconnecting it from your trailer. Check the wiring going into your harness from your taillights to see if those wires are carrying the correct signals, if not then the issue is with the vehicle wiring....

You can splice into the brown tail light wire at any point and run it to the other side of the trailer.

A couple of things to look at would be the connection of the tail light mounting brackets to the trailer and the license plate bracket on the left side.
