Is the Optronics LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light # MCL44AB1 a 1 Wire Light?
Updated 12/15/2025 | Published 11/22/2024 >
Question:
Yes I was told after a chat conversation with someone, most of my answers were answered. I then called cause I forgot to ask one other question. I just wanted to verify that this was a one wire light. I was assured yes after a brief hold. After which he said yep I looked at the video and it is for sure a one wire light. After getting these it does show one wire coming out the back but inside theres a white wire and looks like there are indeed 2 wires inside. Ill try to hook these up but not sure if these will work properly and Im waiting for a review to just see how these work since the instructions were contradictory.
