How to Install Trailer Light part # MC32AB to a Trailer with a Single Power Wire
Question:
I ordered new red and orange marker lights from you. They have two black wires coming out each one. My old lights on my camper have only one wire that was attached to old lights. How do I hook up the new ones?

Sounds like you bought the # MC32AB and the # MC32RB to replace what you have on your trailer.
This is the only style of light we offer in that size. It sounds like your trailer may ground it's light assemblies through the mounting hardware. Which in this case would mean that you would only need to run the ground wire of this light to the mounting hardware and the other to the power wire of your trailer's wiring.
