The 2 black wires for the side marker lights that come with the Optronics Trailer Light Kit # TL16RK are used to power the lights. The clearance lights are actually designed to ground using the mounting hardware. If you check out the attached picture you can see that there is a metal strip that runs from an eyelet to where you will use your mounting hardware. So you will simply connect the black wire to the hole that won't be touching that eyelet.
This is also addressed in the attached review video.
