• Recommended Lights to Increase Visibility on Hitch-Mounted Bike Rack
  
• The Optronics Sealed, Streamline LED Trailer Light # STL79RB referenced in your question will work to provide an additional light on your bike rack, however there may be easier options. You might have trouble mounting the light assembly to the rack itself and the 3-wire design will not allow for easy disconnect when you are not using the bike rack. For an easier option, I recommend looking at the LED Light Kit # 98174LED. You can easily mount these to your bike by using the Mounting...

• How To Wire A Third Brake Light On A Trailer
  
• To get a third brake light on your trailer I would recommend the Optronics Sealed, Streamline LED Trailer Third Brake Light, 1-Function, part # STL80RB. This can be wired to your trailer using the Tow Ready Vehicle to Vehicle Taillight Converter, part # 118158. To install the tail light converter # 118158 on your trailer you will connect the wires on the input side of the converter, white (ground) to the trailer frame, green wire to green wire on your trailers wiring, and yellow wire...

• Adding a Third Brake Light to a Small Camper Trailer
  
• You could use light # STL79RB as a third brake light. Normally it is not recommended to mix LED lights at incandescent lights because the lights don't have voltage/amperage regulators and an incandescent light could draw too much power through an LED and burn it out. But it would work fine in this case because in order to have a third brake light you would have to separate out the combined turn signal/brake light circuits to get a dedicated brake light only function for a third brake...

• Looking for 24 Inch Long 1 Inch Tall LED Tail/Turn/Stop Light
  
• The longest tail/turn/stop led light bar that we have that is similar to the Optronics # STL2RB that you referenced is the Optronics # STL79RB, which is 17 inches long and 1 inch wide. This unit is sealed so it is waterproof and contains 11 LEDs. Past the 17 inch point, you get into 48 inch running lights that go on the tailgate of a truck. I have attached a brief video demonstrating the 17 inch bar.

• Installation Instructions for Optronics 3 Function Streamline LED Light part # STL79RB
  
• The white wire, with the mounting eye, is a ground wire that needs to be connected to a metal surface on the trailer that is electrically grounded like the frame. The other two wires will provide the brake/turn and running lights. This light will not provide functions for both sides of the trailer, in order to do that, you would need two units. The black wire would be connected to your running lights, and the red will be wired to the brake/turn wire. In order for this light to simultaneously...

• How to Determine Wiring Functions on Trailer to Allow Light Installation
  
• It sounds like your existing trailer light may handle more functions than the 3-function (stop/turn/tail) Optronics LED light # STL79RB. This light has a white ground wire and two leads for power; the red wire handles stop/turn signals and the black wire accepts the tail light signal. Thank you for your included photo. In a typical 4-pole wiring configuration the green and yellow wires carry combined stop/turn signals, the white wire is ground, and the brown wire carries taillights....

• LED Strip Recommendation for a Trailer for Additional Stop/Turn/Tail Function Visibility
  
• If your LED strips only have a power and ground wire then they only have one illumination intensity and would not work for what you are trying to do. I would un-install them and go back to the wiring setup you had previous for now. Your best option would be to get the 3-Function LED Bar part # STL79RB that you referenced as this is specifically designed for what you are trying to do. I would run one on either side of your trailer. Connect the white wire to ground, the red wire will connect...

• Which Wires Should be Tapped Into When Adding Additional LED Marker Lights on a Boat Trailer
  
• In order to add LED lights that shine on your boat at night, they will need to be wired into the running light wire or wires on the trailer. On a typical 4-Way flat, it is the brown wire coming from the trailer side connector. To be certain, you can use a circuit tester like # ALL640595. With the trailer connector and vehicle lights on, probe the wires coming from the back of the connector until you find the one that is hot all the time. You can trace this wire back to where you want...

• Adding a Third Brake Light and Tail Light to a Trailer Towed Behind a Motorcycle
  
• Since your trailer has combined stop, tail, and turn signal lights you will either need to have 2 separate light assemblies and wire them in with the existing lights which would also give you turn signal functions on those center lights or you would have to use a special converter to separate out the turn signal circuits from the brake lights in order to just have brake and running lights on the center light. I recommend the second method so you will need converter # C56196. On the input...

• How Can I Wire Center High Mounted Stop Light On Truck Camper To R/L Turn Signals
  
• I was unable to find any definite information about the requirements of a CHMSL on a camper such as you are describing. To have the best information as to the requirements of the areas where you are traveling, I recommend calling the DOTs of the areas where you will be traveling to be familiar with their state and local laws regarding CHMSLs on a camper. To connect a CHMSL to the left and right turn signals, you will want to use a converter, like part # 118158. With this converter,...

• Using Vehicle To Vehicle Taillight Converter # 118158 to Provide 3rd Brake Lamp on Trailer
  
• The Tow Ready # 11858 is essentially a reverse tail light converter. A trailer used what we call a combined tail light system, where the signals for the brake lamps as well as the turn signals are carried on the same circuit. The # 118158 reverses this process, by separating the brake lamp signal from the turn signal circuit. To install a 3rd brake lamp on a trailer, the # 118158 is exactly what you would need. You would tap the green and yellow wires on the INPUT side of the converter...
