Hello neighbors. It's Brad here at etrailer. And today we're taking a look at the Optronics two prong pigtail. Now this is gonna be for a reverse light function in a LED light here. Now, this is normally how you plug-in to get your reverse signal by tying into your reverse light wire. Now, the back of these actually have a two prong design and getting normal, but your pin connectors is kind of tricky to get those in place and that eliminates it.
It makes it plug and play. Once we attach our wires. So here we have our old light installed and we've upgraded our trailer to a seven pole, and that's gonna allow us to have that reverse light function. Well, just putting the taillights in place isn't gonna give us that function if we need to tie into it. So here we have our standard three prong floor, our turn signal, brake lights and running lights.
But for your reverse light signal there's gonna be this two prong. So to get that to work, we're gonna use our pigtail to plug in and we'll tie those wires in. And one of the first things you're gonna want to do is determine which wire has your reverse light function and have that routed down to pretty close around the taillight. We're then going to take our pigtail here and you're gonna see there's two wires. The red which is gonna tie into that wire and then just a white with a ring terminal for our ground.
So I'll go ahead and make our cut. And then we're just gonna strip this back a little bit. And the red's pre-stripped slightly, but I'm gonna go ahead and just get a little bit more on there. And then using a butt connector, we'll go ahead and get these crimped together. Now here, we're putting this in an enclosed trailer and all this wiring lives inside the trailer.
So it shouldn't be exposed to the elements. So if you're throwing reverse lights on a normal utility trailer or something that is exposed to the elements, I highly recommend picking up some heat shrink butt connectors which we have here at etrailer. And that way, once it's crimped down you can heat shrink that. And it's gonna seal that up making sure that water doesn't get in there. Now, once you've made your connections just give it a slight tug, just to make sure that it's actually connected properly. From here, we're gonna take our ring terminal and I'm gonna take a self-tapping screw, it's not included with the light, but you can pick those up here at etrailer or a local hardware store or if you have some lying around the garage and we're just gonna find a solid metal piece which we have a lot of our framework around here. So finding a spot shouldn't be too terribly hard. So just make sure that your plug is gonna be able to reach that reverse light signal there. And then once you have that determined you can go ahead and get your self tapping screw in place and anywhere that's solid metal that attaches to the frame is gonna be a great option. So now we have that mounted up. All I need to do is unplug our old light. Get our new one with that reverse light function in and plug it in. So there's our standard light there. And then our reverse here. It's just gonna plug in. You can see there's little slots here so it's gonna make it nice and easy to get this in place and get it tight. So you can see this little upswing here is gonna face towards the middle there. And once we have those bullet connectors lined up we can go ahead and press this in. It does take a little bit of pressure to get these to seat but it's gonna hold it in place very well. There we go. You're gonna want to hear that nice pop there. So you know that it's sealed and then all we have to do is put our light back in place and then test to make sure it's working. So now you can see we've gone ahead and put our vehicle in reverse. And our reverse signal is now working because we now have that connector. So pretty easy, simple installation to make your reverse lights work. Now, all that's left to do is go back, kind of clean up some of your wires with some zip ties get your panel back in place and then you're ready to start using your trailer with the reverse light function..
Easy connection for light to harness
ALWAYS VERY FAST SERVICE AND GREAT PRODUCTS AT A VERY FAIR PRICE. THANKS
Turns out we did not need these - new lights plugged right in with old wires. But it was great to have them available.
very cheap and worked perfect! great customer service too. im a customer for life with etrailer.
The pigtail is excellent quality. Heavy duty construction and fit the light assembly perfectly. The shipping was extremely quick, and the price just right. Would recommend etrailer.com highly.
The pigtail plug makes the job easier, in my opinion. The quality is top notch, just like all of the Optronics products that I’ve used.
Looks great and can’t wait to install lights and reflectors
I ordered two because I was uncertain which would best fit. The 90 degree angle worked best. I have the other one to return or keep or future use. You folks are the best.
Perfect fit, color coded, and easy to install. Excellent replacement part for your enclosed, utility, or boat trailer needs. Highly recommend!
Everything was as it should be looks like great quality, lights and the Box will make installation easier,
Sealing to back of light doesnt seam robust sense the is right in splash area og trailer tire and general road spray. Had to wrap seam of connector to housing with electrical tape.
I ordered the wrong light, I called in and was served with excellent service. They helped me get the right lights and connectors..I'll be back!

Great product. Easy to use
Replaced the reverse lights on my 2009 Mastercraft trailer. Easy splice into trailer wiring and snug fit into new light (item BUL72CB).

So far so good, they are working as expected and I may have to replace a few on the other side of the trailer with the same items.
Items arrived as described. Good quality, price and fast delivery made this purchase an overall great deal. The lights and the cables I haven’t test them, waiting for my truck replacement bumper to arrive in September and have the body shop install them for me. I will update my review, but for now I recommend this products and the seller.

After a year using this product function-ability still performing as described. I recommend this product and seller.
I ordered the STL101RB Trailer Tail Light - Stop, Tail, Turn, Backup - LED to replace the standard tail lights on my Yamah Drive G19 golf cart. They replaced to stock ones perfectly as a neat way to add a backup lights for a custom feature. The backups led are actuated by the reverse switch on the dash.
It should be noted that the ground terminal on the two wire pigtail connection is not wired internally to the backup LEDs. They rely on the ground supplied by the three wire pigtail. Not a big deal, but worth noting. It throws a curve when bench testing.
These lamps add a nice custom touch!

Great product and quality. Worth the mo ney
I have been a heavy equipment mechanic for over 35 years. I mounted the stop , turn and tail LED lights along with the clear utility LED lights in the headache rack on my new service truck. Order was fulfilled quickly and completely, and wonderful correspondence all the way to shipment to my shop. All parts fit properly and I'm well pleased with the performance . One thing that stands out about the stop , turn and tail lights is that the tail light is perfectly lit (not too bright) so that when the turn signal is activated its super bright. This way there is a significant difference. Too many times I've seen LED lights where the tail light looks like the turn signal as far as brightness. The utility lights are far more bright than the reverse lights ,most likely due to DOT regulations. I would recommend using the utility light for cargo space.
I purchased these Submersible LED bulbs for my boat trailer for two reasons. The first is so road traffic is aware of my intentions of backing up and the second is to make it easier to back my trailer into my driveway at night. The only thing that I find disappointing about this product, is that the wires are not sealed. You have to plug a pigtail in to power the bulb. Although they say it is watertight, I still plan on sealing the plug with some marine grade silicone sealant. Otherwise I am very satisfied with the way these bulbs light up my path of travel.
I called and spoke with Lisa D for a special order product that E-trailer needed to order directly from the manufacturer and have it added to their website, and Lisa D kept me updated every step of the way. She got the products order and shipped with a very quick turn around time, which was great b/c I couldn't find any company that could assist me with ordering the lights that i wanted. Very pleased with E-Trailer and Lisa D.
I have been ordering lights for multiple trailers over the past few weeks. All of the lights that I have ordered have been made by one company, yet they have different connectors. WHY WHY WHY??? Get it together.... please ?!? Or please explain to me why you would put male bullet connectors on some lights and female bullet connectors on other lights. I should have one set of connectors that I have to buy to make connectivity... now you are forcing me... and the customers that by from my to do the same.
Excellent products and service. I will be inquiring soon on a set of 7000lb axles with springs and all hanger hardware.
Great product. I bought backup lights and t plan on replacing my taillights as well. Have plans on replacing my interior lights to LED as well.
Staff was very helpful and they followed up
