• Single Wire ID Light Bar for a Boat Trailer Over 80 Inches Wide
  Your old ID bar must have grounded through its mounting hardware since it only had the one wire. ID bar # MCL97RB also has just one wire and grounds through the mounting hardware. This is an LED light so it will draw much less power than incandescent lights. If your boat trailer is aluminum though a jumper ground wire should be attached between the frame and mounting hardware and attached to a steel surface or the main trailer connector ground. A ground issue is why the other light was...

• Does Peterson Trailer Taillight 432400 Have Version with License Plate Bracket
  The square trailer light part # 432400 is not a light style that normally has a license plate bracket built into it which is why normally when people get these lights they install a separate bracket like the part # LP10SB. For the matching passenger side light you'd need the part # 432200.

• How to Wire a Trailer Light with 1 Wire
  It sounds like the light on your trailer is either missing a wire or it was only designated for one tail light function. If the light does not look old or damaged, I would guess that it is just a clearance light and should be connected to the running light circuit. If this is the case, it should not function as a brake light as well because it was not designed to do so. The brake lights and tail lights run on different circuits and they were not designed to connect to the same wire on a...

• How Does Wiring Run to the Peterson Trailer Light part # 432400
  Essentially what you said is how you run wire to the part # 432400. It's a pretty strange method I will agree, but basically you just insert the wires into the holes on the back of the light assemblies and they socket grabs the wire. If you fast-forward to the 2:30 section of the video I attached you will see our installer use this method. It's really pretty nice since you don't have to splice anything or use any soldering. If you do pull hard enough you would be able to remove the wire,...

• How To Install The Peterson Square Trailer Tail Light Part # 432400
  I am assuming you are referring to the Peterson Square Trailer Tail Light part # 432400. If this is the case, on the back of the taillight assembly, there are 4 wire holes for each function located at the top of the tail light assembly. The top two holes are designed for a larger gauge wire whereas the bottom two are designed for a smaller gauge wire. In order to remove the old wires, you will first need to unhook the trailer connector from the vehicle. You can then insert a small screwdriver...

• Replacing Bulb on Peterson Square Trailer Tail Light # 432400
  To change the bulbs in Peterson trailer tail light # 432400 you will first remove the main lens which is held on by 4 screws. The main bulb can be removed by pushing down and rotating the bulb counterclockwise. There is a diagram on the inside of the case that explains this and it says turn it 30 degrees then pull up. I had to turn it several more times when I played with the light so it probably varies slightly. To install a new 1157 bulb # 30-90-157 you will line up the lower nub...

• What Side Marker Replacement Lens Fits the Peterson Square Trailer Tail Light # 432400
  I spoke with my contact at Peterson and the correct replacement lens for the Peterson Square Tail Light is the Peterson Replacement Side Marker # 55-15R. In the manufacturing process, when the lights are being assembled, the side lights are snapped in via machinery, however, when they need to be replaced, they do need to be screwed into place. There are actual entry points for the screws under the lens that you will see when you pop it out. Peterson does not make a snap-in replacement...

• Trailer Tail Light Recommendation that Needs Mounting Studs that are 2-1/2 inches Long
  None of the stud mounted trailer taillights are going to have studs that are 2-1/2 inches in length. What you could do is get a Aero Pro Submersible LED Trailer Tail and License Light # STL37RB and then swap out the carriage bolts that come with it for longer ones that would fit your trailer. The matching other right hand light would be # STL36RB.

• Difference Between Driver and Passenger Side Trailer Lights
  There are trailer lights that come in pairs such as the Miro-Flex LED Combination Trailer Tail Lights # TLL28RK although these lights also have a driver's side and passenger's side. It is actually pretty easy to tell the difference; if you take a look at the accompanying photo of the Miro-Flex you can see that the driver's side has a light underneath which is the license plate light that is going to illuminate your license plate. I have added a link to a video review of the Miro-Flex...

• Troubleshooting Peterson Tail Lights on Boat Trailer That Keep Burning Out
  It really all depends on what trailer light kit you have installed on your boat trailer. Some kits are designed to withstand submersion and other kits aren't. If you can let me know what kit is on your trailer (not just the type of bulbs you use) I can help you determine if it is submersible (granted we carry it). Another thing to note is that you need to make sure your trailer wiring is unplugged before backing the trailer into the water. Even if your lights are submersible, if you...

• Trailer Tail Light Protector and Matching Tail Lights
  The light guard # LG440NP is designed to fit Peterson square tail lights # 432200 for the right and # 432400 for the left. A license plate light is still a good idea because you never know where you might tow the trailer! You could also use submersible lights # ST7RB for the left and # ST6RB for the right. And you might be interested in aluminum tread plate light protector # CE26051A. Since it is aluminum it will not corrode like steel.

• Replacement Clip On Side Marker Lens for a Peterson 440 Trailer Tail Light
  The replacement side lens with the clips for the Peterson 440 light is not one that we carry. The replacement light, # 432200 for the right side or # 432400 for the left side, will not cost much more than a replacement lens would. I checked with Peterson and the 440 lights now have screws for that side lens so it would appear they have changed the design.
