How to install side marker bulb for a 2014 Malibu? Please

Expert Reply:
To install a side marker light like the Optronics # AL82AB on your 2014 Malibu you will need to ground the white wire and then connect the black wire to your running light circuit. This then installs on the mounting bracket # A91BOB which you will need install using something like a self-tapping screw # 1131832.
Sometimes the lights ground via the mounting hardware so if that's the type of light you have you need to make sure that you mount it to a clean, bare-metal surface.
Attached is a sample install video for the Optronics light that you can check out as well as a diagram of typical trailer wiring.
