Tips for Installing Trailer Taillight with Grommet
Question:
I have the 337LB6123SST double 4inch mounting box along with STL101RMB 4inch GloLight and A45GB grommet. The grommets fit nicely in the box but the light will not fit after the grommet is in place. It is incredibly tight. Have I purchased something incorrect?

Expert Reply:
The grommet part # A45GB that you referenced is correct for the trailer taillight part # STL101RMB that you have. Grommets and lights can be difficult to install but the way to do it is install the light into the grommet first and then push the assembly into the hole. You can use hand soap on the grommet to help get it to slip into place as well.
