Tip for Allowing Round Clearance Light to Fit into Grommet Easier
Updated 07/30/2026 | Published 02/07/2022
Question:
I’m trying to put round trailer lights back on my trailer and am having a terrible time doing so. I watched the videos and read the instructions on your site. The rubber grommet goes in easy but I can’t get the light to go. Please Help

Getting lights like the # MCL50RB to slip into the grommets can be difficult but one trick that works well is to put soap in the grommet to allow to slip in easier.

I installed the grommet. Then soaped the grommet and started it by twisting to the right and applying pressure. Once it locked up to where I could no longer twist it, I used a C-clamp with some scrap boards to finish pushing it in.
