• Can Custer 4-LED Strobe Light or Running Light Be Used As A Back Up Light On 2001 28 ft class C RV

This is a 16-diode LED light that is certified as a back-up light when installed as a pair. This light also requires a grommet, part # A33GB, and a 2-wire pigtail, part # A45CB. The Custer 4-LED Strobe Light or Running Light, part # STRL4A is actually designed to be a running light or a strobe light. You could attach it to the reverse light circuit on...

• Troubleshooting Drivers Side Rear Running Lights Not Working 2015 Ram 5500
• Since you only have the one running light out, it is most likely the bulb/light is either damaged or the wiring to that light has become damaged. If your lights use incandescent bulbs the running lights are on a different filament in the bulb than the turn/brake light. If you have LED lights the lights themselves will either have different diodes only for the running lights or it regulates the power going to the LED's when running lights are on. Starting with a Test Light # PTW2993 you...

• Options for RV Ceiling Lights That Provide More Yellow-Toned Light than LED Lights
• Typically, lights that use incandescent bulbs, rather than LED bulbs, will offer the more yellow-tinged light you are describing. We offer a number of different ceiling light styles with incandescent bulbs. If you are looking for a dome light, we offer lights such as the Trailer Dome Light with Stainless Steel Base # IL91CB. This light measures 6-7/16 inches in diameter and has a 2-wire design. If you're looking for a smaller puck light, one option is the Gustafson RV Puck Light # 277-000343....

• Getting Side Marker Lights to Function as Turn Signals and Running Lights
• Trailers use what is called a 2-wire system which means the turn signals and brake lights are on the same circuit. When you try to add separate amber turn signals you will need to separate out the brake light signal using a converter, # 118158. On this converter the yellow input wire is for the combined left turn signal and brake light. Green is for the right turn signal and brake light. White is ground. On the output side the yellow wire will be left turn signal only, green is right turn...

• Trailer Tail Light Needed for Trailer with Separate Turn Signals and Stop/Tail Lights
• I have attached a link to all of our oval trailer lights for you. Most 6 inch oval lights are actually 6-1/2 inches long by 2-1/4 inches wide. I recommend measuring your trailer lights to make sure you choose a replacement light with the same dimensions as your tail lights. We do not have oval tail lights that are exactly 6 inches long, but you could enlarge the cutouts on your trailer to accommodate the standard 6-1/2 inch lights. Our oval trailer lights are available with red, amber...

• Wiring for the Third Brake Light and Dome Light for an ARE Camper Shell on a 2012 Nissan Frontier
• When installing a camper shell on a truck, typically, there is not a specific wiring harness for the third brake light and dome light. I am not aware of a wiring harness for a Nissan Frontier that will provide those functions for a camper shell. The installation of a camper shell usually consists of using the appropriate lengths of wire for the third brake light and dome light and splicing them into a corresponding circuit on the truck. It would be best to choose the same size wire, so...

• How do the LED Lights Work on Reese Trailer Connector Adapter w/ LED Circuit Tester 78118
• The LED lights on the Reese trailer connector adapter # 78118 will tell you if the corresponding circuit is working. The light on the far left will tell you if the running light circuit has power. There is a T next to it for Tail Lights. In the middle is the light for the left turn/brake light circuit. And the far right is for right turn/brake lights. If you turn on the vehicle head lights then the T light will be on. If you step on the brakes, the other two will light up. Or if you use...

• Recommendation for a Replacement Light Discontinued Wrap Around Light
• I have a solution for your camper tail light. However, unfortunately, we do not have a light that exactly matches your current light. Like you said, that light has been discontinued.

• Recommendation for Utility/Work Lights Installed in Toolbox to Light Rear of Truck
• I have several lighting options for you, but a trailer reverse light, like # BUL52CB that you mentioned, is not going to provide you with the light you are looking for. To provide you with light at least 8 feet away, I recommend going with a utility/work light. For mounting flush inside the toolbox as you mentioned, the best option will be the Vision X LED Light Strip # XIL-SL12. This light has an effective lumen output of 300 lumens and is 12 inches long x 1 inch wide x 1/2 inch deep....

• After Adding Side Marker Lights to Snowmobile Trailer, Some Work and Some Do Not Work
• Adding the additional lights might be overloading the trailer wiring on the vehicle side. Any given wiring set up is rated for a certain amount of amperage draw. If you try disconnecting the lights that do work and the other ones light up then you know this is probably the problem. There could also be an insufficient ground at the lights that are not working or at the main trailer connector since there is now more current running through the running light circuit. Since a test light ground...

• Parts Needed to Install VueSmart Backup Camera and 3rd Brake Light To Scamp 16 Travel Trailer
• You can fit the Optronics LED Trailer Clearance or Side Marker Light # MCL32RBB to the VueSMART RV and Trailer Backup Camera # HM34FR.

• Replacing Optronics Thin Line Incandescent Trailer Light with Thin Line LED Trailer Light
• You are exactly right. Changing out your # MC65RB incandescent lights for new # MCL75RB lights will simply require removing the existing light and snapping a new light into the same housing. Both of these lights use the # A65PB bracket. If any of the brackets on your trailer need replaced you can use the # A65PB as a replacement, but the LED lights will not require any different base than the incandescent lights. I have attached an installation video of the # MCL75RB light for you.
