Junction Box Recommendation for Wiring Trailer with Additional Running Lights
Question:
I need to replace the wiring on a snowmobile trailer and I need to add 2 running lights to the front end of the trailer. Does this wiring have what is needed to run power over to the running lights at the front in addition to the taillights? What wires connect to the running lights at the front?

Expert Reply:
For what you are trying to do I would recommend a junction box like the part # 38656. This will make running several lights off of the same circuit since you will attach the wire from the connector to the pin and then attach the different wires to each running light to the same one so that they will all turn on when you need them to.
I attached a video that shows how this product would install and wire up.
For bonded 4-way wiring you would want the part # 16-4B-1 which is sold by the foot. Or for a single 16 gauge wire you would want the part # DW02359-1. For ring terminals you would need part # DW05702-1.
