Today on our enclosed trailer, we're going to be installing the Optronics Ear Mount Trailer License Plate Light with the plastic housing and gray in color, Part Number LP51CB. Depending on your trailer will depend on how much of the interior you may need to take apart to gain access to the wiring to install the new trailer license plate light. We've also gone ahead and removed any of the old license plate light that was still on the trailer. Now that we have our surface ready to install our new license plate light, we'll go ahead and feed the wire through the hole so that the wire goes into the trailer itself. We'll go ahead and hold our light up into place and then mark the two holes. We'll then set the light aside for now. Next we're going to take two self tapping screws and pre-drill the holes into the trailer.
We'll then back each of the screws out and then put the light up into place, feeding the wire through a center hole allowing it to go into the internal part of the trailer. Then we'll go ahead and take our ratchet and put our screws back in, holding the light in place. Now in our case we needed to remove a couple pieces of internal trim to gain access to the wiring to install the new light. Now that the trim is out of the way, you could see here that we have our wire hanging down. It's part of the running light circuit. Now that that's done, we can go ahead and connect our wiring.
We use a simple butt connector here to connect our running light wire in with the wire coming out of the back of the license plate light. The butt connector that we'll be using today is Part Number DW05714. Once our connection's made, we'll go ahead and wrap it with some electrical tape to give it a little more protection. Now we'll go ahead and test the light before we put our interior back together. As you can see here, with our running light circuit on on the trailer, our license plate light comes on. Now that we've tested it, you can go ahead and put your interior back together.
Again depending on your exact model of trailer will determine what you have to reinstall. In our case, it's a couple pieces of trim. Once our trim is back in place, we can go ahead and close the door up and that'll complete the installation of the Optronics Ear Mount Trailer License Plate Light, Part Number LP51CB. .
