• Replacement Tail Light For Forest River Georgetown XL RV
  I'd be happy to assist you. It sounds like you need the Sealed, Flush Mount Tall Rectangle LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light, Grommet and Plug, 12 Diode # STL34RB but most of the pictures I see have round tail lights like the Sealed, 4" Round, LED Stop/Turn/Tail light, 21 Diode - Red # STL55RB.

• How to Connect the # STL42RB Tail Lights to a 1958 Trailer with 2 Wire Lighting System
  The 4 inch Round Sealed LED Stop, Turn or Tail Light, item # STL42RB, uses a 3 wire pig tail, item # A47PB or # A45PB, to connect to your existing trailer wiring. The plug on the pigtail plugs into the back of the tail light and is then hard wired to your trailer wiring. It sounds as if your original tail lights were grounded to the trailer frame through their mounting studs, so a third wire was not needed. When connecting the 3 wires from the 3 wire pig tail, you will ground the white...

• Replacement Taillights, Wiring and 7-Way Connector for Car Hauler
  To fit the round 4-1/2 inch holes on your trailer for the rear brake lights you could use the # STL42RB as this will fit in that hole. For a pigtail harness you would also need # A45PB.

• Parts Needed to Install Optronics LED Lights on Custom Bumper on 2012 Toyota Tacoma
  Both of the Optronics LED stop/turn/tail lights you referenced, parts # STL72RB and # STL42RB, use a 3-prong connector, either straight plug # A45PB or right-angle plug # A47PB. These fit the receptacles on the back of the light housings and provide 10-inch pigtails leads for connection. For a plug-n-play 4-pole harness to power the lights you can use the Tekonsha kit # 118496 which connects at the Tacoma's taillights with custom-fit connectors. You'll then cut off the 4-pole plug and...

• Do Trailer Lights Sometimes Ground Through Mounting Hardware
  There are quite a few trailer light assemblies that use the mounting bracket as the ground. This works because the mounting brackets typically get attached to metal surfaces that touch the trailer frame which is where the ground strap of the trailer wiring harness connects. You can run a jumper wire from the mounting hardware to the main ground wire of the trailer if you wanted to as well.

• Converter Recommendation to Install Combined Taillights on a Flatbed Truck that had Separate Bulbs
  It sounds like you need to convert the separate wiring of your 1991 Nissan truck to a combined setup to work with the Round LED Taillight # STL42RB. For this you will need to get a Roadmaster Brite-Lite Wiring Converter # RM-732. You will run the wires from your vehicle to the right side of the # RM-732 by function, and then from the left side of the box you will run the corresponding left or right turn signal wire to the red wire of the # STL42RB. The tail light circuit will bypass this...

• Troubleshooting Running Lights Circuit on a Travel Trailer Tail Light Harness
  Since you have tested the 4-Way connector on your vehicle and it is working properly, it leads me to believe that the wiring of the lights is incorrect. You will want to make sure that the fuse for the running lights on the vehicle is not blown. It sounds to me like the lights you have only have two wires coming out of the back for wiring to the trailer connectors wiring. If this is the case then the red wire will connect to the yellow (left) and green (right) wires on the trailer lights....

• How to Ground a Trailer LED Light that Only has 1 Wire
  If a light has just 1 wire that means that it grounds through its mounting hardware. Be sure to use steel hardware and mount the light to a clean and corrosion free bare metal surface. If there isn't a steel surface where you want to mount the light you can place a ring terminal with attached wire between the hardware and mounting surface and attach the other end of the wire to a steel surface.

• What is Needed to Replace Incandescent Lights on Trailer to LED Assemblies
  You can absolutely replace the incandescent lights on your livestock trailer with LED assemblies. Other than replacing the lights themselves, there is nothing else that you will need to do. Your existing wiring (assuming it is in good condition) can be left untouched. You will find that the new LED replacements will provide a brighter light on your trailer and also won't require near the power demand that your current incandescents need. I have attached a link that will take you directly...

• Will Each LED Taillight Need to Be Grounded Separately on Trailer
  When it comes to wiring an LED taillight like the Sealed 4" Round LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light # STL42RB with Pigtail Harness, # A45PB, the red wire is for stop and turn, the black for running lights, and the white wire will need to be attached to a clean and corrosion free bare metal surface on the trailer. As for a clearance light having two wires like the Rectangular LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light, # MCL32AB, you will ground the white wire and connect the black...

• What is the Power Draw of Optronics LED 4 Inch Round Trailer Tail Light # STL42RB
  Because tail light # STL42RB has more than one function it has more than one amperage draw rating. Brake lights and turn signals draw more power so that will be the higher draw at 0.413 amps. Running lights use less power and would be the 0.26 amps. If you have the running lights on and then step on the brake, the brake light overrides the tail light. If you have the brakes on (with or without the running lights on) the turn signal will override the brake light on that side. So the most...

• Can Utility Lights in Trailer Run Off Running Light Circuit Through a Switch on an Aluminum Trailer
  Yes, you can run the switch power wire to a clearance light but the trailer would have to be connected to the vehicle with the running lights on for the interior lights to have power. Aluminum does not offer the best ground so if the lights do not work you may have to run a jumper ground wire to a steel component or the main trailer connector ground. I would try it first to see if there is any problem with grounding to the aluminum surface. A fuse is not needed though you could add one...

• Could Use a Trailer Light Mounting Bracket with a Sealed 4 Inch LED Stop Light
  Yes, I went out into our warehouse and pulled a Sealed, 4 inch Round LED Trailer Stop # STL42RB and a Trailer Light Mounting Bracket # BK45BB and found that they work together very well. All of the mounting holes from the # STL42RB line up with the # BK45BB. You would need bolts that have a diameter of no more than 3/16 of an inch to attach the light to the bracket. I attached a picture to the right that shows how these products would look if installed together. You might also be interested...

• Replacement LED Trailer Light to Reduce Power Draw
  The Optronics LED Trailer Light # STL42RB is not what I could call an exact replacement for the # ST40RB but for all purposes it will be what you're looking for. The # STL42RB is 1/8 inches larger in diameter and 3/8 inches deeper so at the most you may need to do a little filing to the opening for the light in your trailer to install it. The mounting flange is metal. There is also a Stainless Steel Trim Ring # A5TRSSB available. It does not include a gasket, however If you would prefer...

• Sealing Up Around a Trailer Tail Light Using Tail Light # STL42RB On an Airstream Trailer
  You could use a gasket maker like # LT37464. You would just need to put a small bead of the gasket maker around the outer most flange on tail light # STL42RB. I have included a picture to show you what this would look like. You could also use silicone # 0160297 around the light and at the mounting holes after you have installed it.
