INSTALLING THE TRAILER’S CONNECTOR WIRING
1. Select mounting locations at the rear of the trailer for the tail lights so that they are to the extreme left and
right edges of the trailer 15 in. (38 cm) to 60 in. (152 cm) above the road surface.
When installed, the lens surface must be visible a minimum of 45 degrees to the right and left and 20
degrees from above or below the trailer.
2. The left rear light (driver side) has a clear window for the licence illuminator with the window facing down.
Push the bolts through the slots on the narrow end of licence plate bracket. Insure that the angled portion
of the licence bracket faces the clear window. Attach this light and bracket to the driver’s side of the trailer
using the lock washer and nut.
3. Attach the right rear light (passenger side) to the passenger’s side of the trailer in the same manner.
4. Position the 4-way trailer end connector at the tongue of the trailer.
Provide enough slack to allow for vehicle maneuvering. Attach the white wire to a grounded location on
the trailer. Ensure the end of the white wire is stripped to permit a metal-to-metal connection. Secure the
stripped wire to the trailer frame with the included metal screw.
5. Run the yellow wire and one brown wire along driver’s side of trailer frame to the left rear light. Secure the
wires along the frame using metal frame clips.
a. Connect the yellow wire to the light’s red wire with a wire nut.
b. Connect the brown wire to the light’s two black wires with a
wire nut.
6. Run the green wire and one brown wire along passenger’s side of
trailer frame to the right rear light. Secure the wires along the
frame using metal frame clips.
a. Connect the green wire to the light’s red wire
with a wire nut.
b. Connect the brown wire to the light’s two black wires with a
wire nut.
