Question:
I want to add back up lights to my boat trailer. It has surge break, The blue wire on trailer is activated by the brake lights on the truck to disengage brakes on trailer. Can I tap into that add ground wire and run to rear of trailer? If so what waterproof submersible lights do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
It shouldn't be a problem to run backup lights on the same circuit as the reverse lockout, especially LED lights. You can use # 10-1-1 to run your additional wire. For lights, I recommend the GloLight LED Backup Light for Truck or Trailer # BUL111CFPG. These are sonically sealed and completely submersible. You will also need the # A45CB for installation.
