Wiring and Parts Needed to Connect Clearance Lights with Wiring Circuits on a 1998 Lazy Daze
Question:
Replacing clearance lights on a 1998 Lazy Daze. When I removed the old lights I found that the amount of wire coming out of the RV was so minimal that I dont have enough to connect the new lights. Is there anything or anyway to add wire without adding bulk so I can get enough wire through the hole in the new light to make the connections to the new light wires?

Expert Reply:
If the wiring on your replacement clearance lights don't quite reach the wiring on your 1998 Lazy Daze then you can simply purchase 16 Gauge Wire # 16-1-1 which is sold by the foot, and then use Butt Connectors # DW05744-5 or # DW05744-10 to splice the wires together.
We also have the Trailer Wiring Installation Kit # HM51010 you can use for the installation which includes a variety of connectors, electrical tape, zip ties, a circuit tester, and a wire tool.
