Wiring Guide for Installing Optronics Thinline Sealed LED Utility Light # UCL65CB
Question:
I have a round 7 pin coming from the Tohoe then a connector that takes a 5 pin coming off of the boat trailer. Do you have a diagram to show how to wire the 2 6 back up light I will install on the back of the trailer for backing the boat in the water. A drawing or a video would be great. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
The LED light you referenced, Optronics Thinline Sealed LED Utility Light # UCL65CB, installs using a mounting bracket # A65PB. This base has a single wire lead for the +12V input; the ground connection is made through the mounting hardware.
With the base mounted so that its grounding stud makes contact with bare metal on the trailer frame, you'll then need only to connect the one wire lead to the reverse light circuit on your trailer.
You can use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to confirm which wire at your trailer taillight carries the reverse signal.
