The Thinline LED Trailer Tail Light # STL64RB is pretty easy to install, you'll just need some butt connectors # DW05744-10, self tapping screws to mount the lights, a couple of ring terminals # DW05702-1 to easily mount the ground wires to the frame of the trailer, and possibly some extra wiring # 16-1-1 to bridge the gap between the lights and trailer wiring. You'll need some wire strippers # PT43ZR and crimpers # PTW30764 to secure the wires to the butt connectors and ring terminals. The wire functions of these lights are as follows:
White - Ground
Red - Stop/Turn Signal
Black - Tail Light
You might also need a tester # PTW2993 in order to determine the functions of the trailer wiring you'll be tapping into when installing the lights.
