Can the BU70CB Light Replace a ST70RB and Be Used as a Reverse Light
Question:
I currently have 2 halogen oval brake and running lights on each side of my enclosed snowmobile trailer. They are product Code: ST70RB, Im looking to see if I can replace 1 on each side with some kind of reverse light you guys have? Can this be possible to achieve somehow without re-wiring the trailer? If so, which product could I replace with quick. Would this work BU70CB? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
The # BU70CB is basically the exact same light assembly as the # ST70RB that you currently have on your trailer so physically it will install very easily and in the exact same way as the # ST70RB.
To wire it up so that it illuminates when your vehicle is put in reverse would mean that you would need to run a wire from those assemblies to a reverse light circuit on the trailer connector on your trailer. Since you have a 2014 Ram 2500 you will have a 7-way connector, the center pin of your connector will be the reverse light circuit. You will need to run this circuit to both lights and they will turn on when in reverse.
