Question:

I have an older Lance camper. The wires in the clearance lights are green and yellow. What do you have that will match the existing lights will work with my wiring?

Trailer clearance lights have one wire for the power and one wire for the ground. You'll need to test your trailer light wiring with a Digital Multimeter to determine which color controls which function. There are no standard guidelines for trailer wiring so I can not tell you which wire does what. I recommend item # PT89ZR this multimeter will allow you to safely troubleshoot a variety of electrical circuits and help you to identify which wire is for power and ground.

I recommend the LED Trailer Clearance Reflex Reflector Lights item # MCL32RB. LEDs make great replacements for your current incandescent lights. These will last 50 times longer and are far more efficient. These new clearance lights will provide brighter light with less power output.
