Ryan: How's it going Ryan here at etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install, the Piranha LED clearance or side marker trailer light. Now this light, it's going to work great as either a direct replacement, or even an upgrade. And I say upgrade because over traditional style incandescent bulbs, this one's actually an LED. Now since it has those three LED diodes, it's going to be much brighter and last a really long time. You have no brittle filaments to worry about.

The days of having to keep spare bulbs inside of your truck's glove box are long gone. The light is going to be two and a half inches in diameter and it's going to be 15 sixteenths of an inch thick. That way you should be able to figure out which light is going to be the best option for your trailer.Now if we flip the light over, it's going to be sonically sealed, so everything will be nice and tight so it's going to be waterproof. And once you kind of get the light in your hand and feel it, you can just tell what it's really well built and should last for a really long time. Now the light is going to accept these standard two prong connector, like we have plugged in right now.

Now if your connector is damaged or anything like that and you need to get a new one, you can find them here etrailer.com. And since the LEDs are going to last a really long time, once you get the light installed, you're not going to have to worry about messing around with it. Speaking of installation, let's go ahead and put this in together now. To begin your installation, he moved back to the light that you're wanting to replace. In our particular situation, it is this missing side-marker.Now if your light is not missing, you'd simply remove it.

Now the way the lights are moved, you can kind of just push in on one side of the light and it'll kind of spin sideways and you're able to pull it out of the grommet. And to disconnect it, there's nothing special about these, you simply just pull back and that'll separate the two. Other than that, once you have it removed, you can simply plug the light in. Now, even though these terminals come with a little bit of dielectric grease on them, I like to add just a little bit more cause it can't hurt anything. And if you'd like to add some more too, find it here at etrailer.com.

Let's get those coated, plug that into the terminals and push it down to completely connected. But the light plugged in now, you simply just push it back into the grommet. Sometimes it can fit a little bit tight to the grommet, so we kind of just work around it and push back and get it to fully seat. Now it's always a good idea to test light, so you go ahead and put power to it and turn it on and make sure everything is working properly. And that'll finish up our look at and our installation of the Piranha LED clearance or side marker trailer light.
