How to Install Tail Light and Grommet into Trailer Light Mounting Bracket # BK70BB
Question:
Hi and thank you for your help.......I have purchased two led oval taillights for my trailer. I have a Tennesee trailer Model 2200...... I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the actual light with the rubber seal to stay connected to the bracket. I have no problem fitting it in,but then it also has no problem falling out.... Please tell me what I am doing wrong....thanks

I went out to the warehouse and pulled a # BK70BB bracket, a 6 inch oval tail light and the A70GB grommet.
I found that it is much easier to install everything if you push the grommet fully into the bracket until it is fully seated and then push the light into the grommet until it bottoms out. At that point, you will have a fit tight enough that the lamp is securely held in place. Make sure the grommet is pushed FULLY into place before inserting the lamp.
