How Does Optronics STL101RCFB GloLight Ground to Trailer Frame
Question:
Hello! How exactly do these lights ground? Are they meant to mount to a metal frame and thats how, or is there a separate ground wire by chance or built into the pigtail connection? Im contemplating these for a wooden flatbed and would like to know what I would need to do or if you have others that ground by wire, not contact. Thank you!

The # STL101RCFB Optronics GloLight would ground to the trailer frame via the 3 prong pigtail that's sold separately as # A47PB for a right angle plug or # A45PB for a straight plug. The white wire on the pigtail is the ground connection. The red wire carries the turn signal/brake lamp circuit and the black wire carries the running lamp circuit.
