Is Anything Else Needed to Install Trailer Light Kit # TL29BK
Question:
Are there any other things we wil need to install this kit? Like adaptors or anything else?

Expert Reply:
The only other thing you might need to actually install light kit # TL29BK is a wiring kit such as # HM51020. But if you already have tools and connectors and the other items in the kit you will not need to add anything else. I have included a link to a video review of this light kit for you.
One tip I can add is that to avoid ground problems down the road, either mount the license plate bracket by itself (and not sandwiched between the light and trailer frame) or put a ring terminal in between the light stud and license plate bracket and run a jumper ground wire to the trailer frame.
The issue is that over time, the plastic license plate holder can interrupt the ground connection to the light. If that light stops working, that is probably the cause. And if it does happen you know what to do!
