Optronics Trailer Lights - Tail Lights - TL5RK Review Video

As you noted, the typically wiring colors for a 4-Way connector is white for ground, brown for tail/running, yellow for left stop/turn, and green for right stop/turn. The confusing part is that even though this is the typical way that the wiring is…

Thanks for the photo. You will not have any issue using the Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers - 1-3/4" Wide Double-Eye Springs #K71-449-00 and moving the equalizer bolt down to the lower hole position. This will work…

If where you plan to mount the clearance lights is metal that touches the trailer frame then a 1 wire clearance light would work just fine. The difference between the 1 wire and 2 wire lights is that the 1 wire lights ground through their mounting…
