Can 3 Sealed, Mini Rectangular LED Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Lights, # MCL95AB, Wire Together
Question:
I am looking to purchase three of these lights to use as marker lights on my 2001 Ford F150. I intend to mount them in/behind the front grill and wiring them into the parking light wires. After connecting the left most lights power wire to the parking light wire for power, am I able to splice the center lights power wire into the left lights power wire and the rights into the centers to power all three? I believe this would be wiring the lights in a parallel circuit and therefore supply the same voltage to each.

Expert Reply:
You can wire 3 of the Sealed, Mini Rectangular LED Trailer Clearance, Side Marker Lights, # MCL95AB, to a single power source by splicing all three power wires together then going to a common power source. This would mean only having to make one splice rather than multiple splices like you have described and the lights would work much better.
You might just need a little extra wire # 12-1-1 to reach. This wire is sold in 1 foot increments. I have included a link to a video review of the lights for you.
