How Does the Bracket # A67CB and Clearance Light # MCL67ARB Wire to Trailer
Question:
I ordered some chrome brackets with single wire plug A67CB and some LED clearance light fender kits MCL67ARB. The two have different connectors on the pigtail. I am not sure how to connect the two types to my trailer wire.

The reason the # A67CB bracket uses a single wire is because the light will ground through the mounting hardware. If you needed to run a second ground wire to the assembly you would only need to run the stripped ground wire around the mounting screw that attaches to the side of the base with the ground strap. See picture I attached to see which side has the ground strap.
The # MCL67ARB uses a similar setup and also grounds through the mounting hardware. The single wire coming from the assembly is the power wire and would need to get tapped into the running light circuit just like the # A67CB.
