Adding 2 Wire LED Clearance Lights to a Boat Trailer
Question:
Rear and side lights have 2 wires green and yellow going into them. Will these wires work with LED lights?

Expert Reply:
First, if you are switching to LED lights on the trailer, make sure to replace all of the incandescents with LEDs. Mixing the two styles can result in some of the lights not working and/or malfunctions.
Clearance lights, LED or otherwise, that have 2 wires use one wire for power and the other is the ground that attaches to the trailer frame. Clearance lights run off of the running light circuit, the brown wire if you are looking at trailer light kit # TL16RK. The wires from the old lights will work just fine unless they are in need of repair.
