Question:
What drivers tail light do I pair with this tail light?This light is listed as an 11 light and the other drivers side light you offer is a 14 light? Why would the drivers light have 3 additional blubs or is this a typo? Thanks

Expert Reply:
The reason that the Passenger Trailer Tail Light # STL8RB has 11 diodes and the Drivers Side # STL9RB has 14 diodes is because the driver side light has an additional function; license plate illuminator.
This is why you see a difference in the amount of diodes. I have attached a picture of the underside of the driver side light so you can see the license plate illuminator.
I have attached some review videos as well as an installation video for you to check out.
