• Recommended Black, Gray Water, and Fresh Potable Water Sensors for Level Monitoring System
  We do not have any monitoring system for your water levels. We do however carry the sensors for the tanks that will connect to those monitoring systems.

You would simply connect power to the lowest level sensor an then mount a sensor at the desired level or levels and connect the positive wire of the light to the sensor and the ground of the light to any grounded metal surface.

• Replacement Amber Clearance Light For Trailer with Existing 1 Inch Diameter Hole
  I have a solution for you, but the Optronics Sealed, Uni-Lite Mini LED Side Marker and Clearance Light # MCL11AKB that you referenced does not come in a larger size to fit the existing 1 inch diameter hole in your trailer. I do not recommend using the # MCL11AKB and filling the hole with sealant. I also do not recommend gluing the trailer clearance light to the trailer. The light should be installed as intended by the manufacturer. Some surface mount lights will ground through their mounting...

• Wiring a 2011 Victory Motorcycle and Trailer for Towing
  For simplicity, I would recommend wiring the motorcycle trailer as a vehicle trailer would be. A powered converter wiring kit, like part # C59496, would be connected to the motorcycle, which would provide a 4-pole trailer connector. The converter combines the brake lamp and the directional signal onto one circuit. The 4-pole connector utilizes four circuits, the white wire which is the ground, the green wire carries the right turn and brake light combined on one circuit, the yellow wire...

• How to Wire Camera to Clearance Lights in 2007 Coachman Mirada Motorhome

Other installations could use a switch to allow the camera to be turned on at will, while others may want to wire the camera to the running light circuit so that it operates any time the vehicle headlights are on. Your clearance light can be used...

  It sounds like you're trying to install the Uni-Lite LED Clearance and Marker Light # MCL11AKB, so you'll want to make sure that you have a 11/16" hole in the desired location.

  The Uni-Lite LED Clearance and Side Marker Light w Grommet - Submersible - 2 Diodes - Amber Lens # MCL11AKB can be mounted in a piece of metal up to 1/4" thick.

• What Size Hole is the Uni-Lite LED Side Marker Light # MCL11AKB Designed to Install In
  The Sealed, Glolight Uni-Lite Mini LED Side Marker and Clearance Light # MCL11AKB is designed to fit an 11/16 inch diameter hole.

Submersible means that the light itself can be submerged underwater and it won't become damaged....

• How Long Should Optronics Uni-Lite LED Clearance Lights Last?
  The Uni-Lite LED Clearance and Side Marker Light w Grommet - Submersible - 2 Diodes - Amber Lens # MCL11AKB have not had any real negative reviews or noted issues to my knowledge. With that kind of burn out you may want to check your connections as they shouldn't be having issues like you stated. We have had them since 2011 and haven't have any reports like this. It would definitely be worth putting a multimeter like # PT89ZR on them as they should draw 0.03 amps at 12.8 volts and the...

• Could Sealed, Uni-Lite Mini LED Side Marker and Clearance Light, # MCL11RKB Be Used as a Turn Signal
  You could use the Sealed, Uni-Lite Mini LED Side Marker and Clearance Light, # MCL11RKB, as a turn signal light. However, on most trailers, the brake and turn signal lights are usually on the same circuit. If you have this type of trailer, the light will light up with the brakes on. When turn signals are separate, you might want to consider an amber light, # MCL11AKB, as a turn signal. These lights would probably work well on a motorcycle trailer (a trailer towed behind a motorcycle)...

• Can Trailer Lights be Install on Jeep Wrangler JK Using Warrior Products Steel Tail Light Mounts

I am not sure where you would put light # MCL11AKB on those mounts you mentioned but it requires an 11/16 inch diameter hole. This last light is a clearance or side marker light. It is not DOT approved as a turn signal. Since we do not carry the mounts you are looking at you would have to go by the...
