How to remove wires from Peterson Dot AIST lens to replace new light?In order to replace a set
asked by: Bill F
Helpful Expert Reply:
I am assuming you are referring to the Peterson Square Trailer Tail Light part # 432400. If this is the case, on the back of the taillight assembly, there are 4 wire holes for each function located at the top of the tail light assembly. The top two holes are designed for a larger gauge wire whereas the bottom two are designed for a smaller gauge wire.
In order to remove the old wires, you will first need to unhook the trailer connector from the vehicle. You can then insert a small screwdriver or paperclip into the adjacent empty wire slots on the same side as the wire you are removing. This will release the spring plate allowing the wire to be removed. To install a new wire, you will need to strip back a 1/4" off the jacket from the wire and place it into the correct hole while pulling back to ensure a tight fit.
If you are wanting to replace your tail light with square, Peterson Lights, you can use part # 432400 for left-hand lights and part # 432200 for right-hand lights.
I have attached a video review of this product for a further explanation.
