Question:

Recently I purchased 2 STL78AB and 2 STL78RB lights with the intention of using them as side indicator/marker lights. I didnt realize they are actually rear signal lights. My 2006 T@B side lights are two wire and these are three wire. I need this size light to cover the original screw holes from the old lights. Can these be used as side marker lights? And can I run them on two wires? Or should I return them? If I return them can you suggest another marker light that will cover screw holes 3 1/2inch apart? Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:

You can use the # STL78AB and the # STL78RB as clearance lights. The white wire of the light will get grounded and then you will run the black wire of the light to the running light circuit of your trailer. The red wire wouldn't be used.
