Question:
Hi there, The light Im replacing only has two wires. What is the third white wire for on this? Similar to Item # ST40RB Id like to get the LED instead but just want to make sure Im not missing something. Thank you!

Aside from the Optronics # ST40RB having an incandescent bulb and the Optronics # STL003RFLB being LED the only other big difference is that the first part grounds through the mounting hardware while the LED version grounds through a wire. This is why one unit has 2 wires and the other has 3.
We have 2 pigtail options for the LED verison for you to use. Part # A45PB has the wires coming straight out of the plug while part # A47PB has a right angle for tight spacing where your lights mount.
I have attached some sample installation videos for you to check out.
