Question:
Wired as a reverse tail light on a trailer. Light flashes on for a split second as the vehicle is shifted into reverse but then immediately turns off when reverse is fully engaged. Need help!

Expert Reply:
Since the Optronics Utility Light # UCL60CB is a high-efficiency LED type, it may not present the kind of electrical load to the reverse light circuit that a standard bulb does. In this circumstance a load resistor added to each light can resolve the issue by making the LED light appear to have the higher resistance of a standard incandescent bulb.
Part # DI34ZR is a load resistor with quick-connect fasteners that will resolve this issue.
