Question:

Code: STL211RB Hello, the product looks good, but I am wondering if I have to run a wire all the way inside the trailer frame to the 7 pin plug? If so, I would probably splice the wire that feeds the back up connection I believe the center one. Or isnt that necessary? thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:

If you have existing trailer light wiring, it is not necessary to run additional wiring from your new LED light to your 7-way connector. You can splice into the wiring that feeds your current lights but will need the following pigtail leads.

You will need a right angle # A47PB or a straight # A45PB 3-wire pigtail lead and a 2-wire pigtail # A45CB to install the Optronics Stop-Tail-Turn-Backup Trailer Tail Light # STL211RB. (The 2-wire pigtail can be replaced with a standard 3-wire pigtail lead as well.)

You will also need to connect the back-up wire. If you do not have existing reverse lights, you will need to run wire from the reverse lights to the center pin on the 7-way connector. The attached photo displays the single pin that carries the reverse signal. You can use # 16-1-1, sold by the foot, to run the reverse light signal.
