- Are Putco PURE Premium 194 Wedge LED Amber Bulbs DOT Approved for On-Road Use
- Only certain color lights are DOT approved for on road use (normal everyday driving). It depends on what light you are replacing. For example you would not use a blue light as the turn signal but an amber bulb like # P230194A360 would be fine and DOT approved.
For any lights for your truck, see link, it will say in the features section if it is DOT approved or not.

- The Blue Ox Patriot Brake Control System # BRK2010 will sit in the floorboards of your 1992 Mazda B2200 and will sense the amount of braking being applied by the tow vehicle, and will apply pressure to the brake pedal of your B2200 in proportion to that. Check out the video I attached.
In order to determine if your vehicle is flat-towable you will need to consult the owners manual of your vehicle to see if there are any restrictions or recommendations like axle disconnects or transmission lub

I recommend the RoadMaster Tracker Tow Bar, # RM-020, as an economical option. In order to make the XL arms removable, you will also need Quick Disconnects, # RM-201, when using this tow bar. I have included a link to the install

- Can a 2 Inch Hitch Receiver be Bolted to the Westin Replacement Bumper # 75000-95800
- The Westin Replacement Bumper, part # 75000-95800, has a hitch plate with a center hole that will accommodate a 1 inch hitch ball like the Tow Ready ball # 19247. With the hitch ball attached to the bumper, you will be able to tow up to 3500lbs and have an available tongue weight of 350 lbs.
A 2 inch hitch will not be able to be attached to the Westin bumper. When installing a hitch to a vehicle, it usually needs to be attached to the frame. I do not have a hitch that will fit your 1991 Mazda

- Parts Needed to Tow a 1999 Mazda B3000 Extended Cab Behind a Motor Home
- You will need to check your owners manual or with the Mazda dealer to see if your 1999 Mazda B3000 Ext Cab can be flat towed. Some vehicles must be equipped with a transmission lube pump, an axle disconnect, drive line disconnect or free-wheeling hubs before they can be towed. If the correct procedure is not followed, it will cause severe damage to the transmission.
If you will be able to flat tow your vehicle, you will need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, wiring, and a supplemental

- Power Steering Cooler Recommendation for a 2000 Mazda B3000 Pickup
- Power Steering coolers are not vehicle specific items, so any cooler that fits in front of the radiator or air conditioning condenser on your 2000 Mazda B3000 Pickup would be a good choice. The larger the cooler is the better it will perform so I recommend getting the largest cooler that will fit easily. Measuring is required.
The Derale Power Steering Cooler, item # D12213, would be a good choice and you will need an area at least 9-1/8 inches Wide x 2-1/2 inches tall x 3/4 inches deep to in

- What Parts do I need to use a Reese Collapsible Tow Bar to tow a 2001 Mazda B2500 Pickup
- We do not carry Reese base plates, and to my knowledge, they do not make them.
There is a tow bar adapter, # RM-025, available to allow you to use Roadmaster Baseplates with the Reese Tow Bar.
As you found, the base plate kit we have for your B2500 is part # 483-1. I assume the Reese Tow Bar you are wanting to use is part # 63180. You will need an adapter, part # RM-025, in order to get the Reese Tow Bar to mate with the Roadmaster base plates. Keep in mind that this tow bar is rated for

It connects to the taillight wiring harness along the inside of the left rear frame rail. This harness will have a connection point with connectors matching the ends of the T-connector adapter.

- Brake Controller Wiring on a 2001 Mazda B4000
- There is no vehicle specific brake controller adapter for a 2001 Mazda B4000, but you can still install a brake controller. I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P2, # 90885. It is one of our best-selling controllers because it is easy to set up and use. We offer an installation kit, # ETBC7, that includes every thing you would need to install a brake controller, even the 7 way connector. I have included a link to a couple of FAQ articles that explain the installation of a brake controller from scrat

- What Wiring Changes do I need to Make for LED Lights on My Trailer
- Because LED running lights use much less power than their incandescent counterparts, you should not be in any danger of overloading anything. Because of that, and because your truck already has the 4 pole connector, you do not need a converter. Your signal is already converted. You can certainly use a 4 to 6 pole adapter, part # 37175 or a 4 to 7 pole adapter, part # 37185. The powered accessory lead would use the black wire on the 7 way adapter and the blue wire on the 6 way. You would run that
