Great information on wiring the trailer. I too had to splice the wires for them to be long enough to reach the rear of the trailer.

Nice job. After you first get the lights mounted I would suggest checking the circuit by simply hand twisting the connections together. Once circuit is confirmed, go ahead and install the permanent connections with the heat-shrink connectors.

Best You Tube guide and advise! But How come there wasn’t any Tube Loom used in this installation? Is it even Necessary to use tube loom? Cheers TK

Thank you! The wire loom is good at chafe points to keep the wire from being cut or from shorting out but not necessary throughout the entire trailer. I didn’t have any issues with that here so it t was not needed.

Make sure you have three, clean grounds (white wires) on the trailer chassis or the LEDs won’t work right.

Awesome video and I have a quick question. I have PVC trailer guide posts and bought a set of LED lights that attach at the very top. I would like these to function with my trailer left and right lights. Any ideas on how I can integrate the wiring so they work properly?
@captleesoutdooradventures7133
@captleesoutdooradventures7133 5 ай бұрын
Most of the time those are used instead of the low tail lights. You can wire them into the existing wires going to your current tail lights though. You’ll need to splice into the current wiring. I’m not a fan of cutting and splicing but that would leave you little options. I would put the ground on the bolt just like I did on the current tail light and use a blue butt connector and put the 2 tail light wires in it and crimp. You can put silicone grease or dielectric grease In the connector before you heat shrink to help keep water out and prevent corrosion. The other option is to run the wire all the way back to the tongue of the trailer and tie in up there so the connector are never submerged.

I just installed my trailer lights. Same set up. Breaks work, flashers work but running lights at night don’t. Any thoughts?
@captleesoutdooradventures7133

@@joecastillomovies check and make sure you have power coming from the vehicle on the flashers and running lights on the vehicle side. Also check connections by giving them a good tug to make sure they are solid. If you do have power coming from the vehicle I’d go to each connection and see where you have lost power from the front to the back.

Does it matter on the 2 wires coming from the lights if brown is switched lord just go by the color 9f the wire I didn't see you physically connect the pigtail from the lights to the yellow and the green sorry still confused

Did you have to replace all the wires running thru the trailer or could you have only replaced the light itself?
@captleesoutdooradventures7133
@captleesoutdooradventures7133 3 жыл бұрын
I could have replaced just the lights and connected them with butt connectors just like in the video but the kit included new wiring so I chose to replace it all.

Why did you leave the light mounted on the end with some of it hanging past the frame, wouldn't it make it more prone to break?
@captleesoutdooradventures7133
@captleesoutdooradventures7133 3 жыл бұрын
Not more prone to breaking unless I run into something. At that point my trailer or guides would have hit the object first. The original lights were not available so I got these because the bolt pattern matched up. Still have not had any issues with them.

So you don’t have to worry about the white ground wire getting wet?
@captleesoutdooradventures7133
@captleesoutdooradventures7133 2 жыл бұрын
No because the ground wire does not carry any power. You do have to have clean metal surface for it to attach to.

If you have new lights your 2 biggest concerns would be 1. A good ground. 2. Getting power to the bulb. Check all of your connections. Make sure your contacts are clean and make sure your connectors are good by tugging on them. It wouldn’t hurt to check your bulb also to make sure it didn’t get jarred loose in shipping. Let me know what you find or if I can help any further.

I ordered a kit from Amazon for my 18ft pontoon trailer the wiring that came off was wesbar but I tried putting the new harness on and it had 2 connector male and female the connected to each other but other end didn’t match up to my truck. I’m pretty sure I got the wrong harness
