Is there anything additional you need or have to do if your swapping outbold incandescent boat trailer lights for the LED golights?

Expert Reply:
The only thing extra that you may have to do is find a suitable mounting location for the white ground wire. Sometimes older lights ground through the mounting hardware but the GLOLight LED Combination Trailer Tail Light # STL116RB grounds through the white wire with the ring terminal on it.
Asite from that I do recommend using heat shrink butt connector like part # DW05743-5 for a water-tight seal to keep the wiring from becoming damaged.
You referenced the passenger side taillight. We also have the driver's side as well with part # STL117RB. The biggest difference is that the driver's side light has an additional light on the bottom that illuminates your trailer.
