Installing LED Tail Lights and Grommets in Trailer Mounting Hole
Published 11/06/2018
Question:
I am replacing the tail lights in my trailer that had 6 1/2 oval incandescent lights. I purchased new led lights and grommets from E-trailer. My question is should I install the grommets in the hole first and attempt to push the lights into the grommet, or should I put the grommet on the light and attempt to push the assembly into the existing hole? Thanks for your help. Great products, by the way.

Helpful Expert Reply:
When installing your new lights, you will first install the grommet # A70GB into the hole and then install the light into the grommet. This will ensure the grommet is properly seated in the hole and the light will be a snug fit. I've attached a video installation to further assist.
