Question:

The video was nice but I need to see how the mount fits on my trailer. If I ground the bracket by mounting it on the trailer then have I created the potential for a short when I hook up the power wire?

For a mounting bracket for the Optronics Trailer Light # MCL75RB that you referenced you would want an Optronics Black Mounting Bracket # A65PB. How it will mount will depend on your trailer, but basically you will need to use a screw or bolt with a diameter less than 1/4 inches to attach it to the surface of your trailer. The mounting holes are 3 inches apart on center.

Grounding the light circuit through the mounting bracket should not cause a short circuit. Just make sure the metal surface is clean and you should have no problems. There are a lot of trailers that ground there tail light circuits through the frame without any problems.
