Question:
Im updating trailer lights from bulb to LED. OPTRONICS Bracket A-67CBP comes with a single wire. Is there a similar bracket but with two wires ground and hot. The lights I am replacing have two wires because the trailer is plastic and not metal in these locations.

Expert Reply:
Unfortunately, the Optronics Trailer Light, part # A67CBPG is grounded through the mounting hardware which will not work on your non-metal trailer.
You can use grounding wire like part # DW02359-1 and attach it to the grounding tab on the bracket and run it to the ground you had for your old lights. You need to be aware that this bracket is designed for watertight connections and running additional wires from the bracket could compromise the watertight feature.
