Expert Reply:

It looks like you have the lights and grommets, wiring harnesses, hardware, reflector, wire loom and butt connectors. But the butt connectors will be too large for the wiring harness. You will need 22 to 18 gauge 5-pack # 05730-5. The wiring on the wishbone harness is 19 to 20 gauge.

You may also want to invest in some dielectric grease # 11755 to keep moisture and corrosion out of the electrical connections.

And if your trailer has any clearance lights, those are missing for the list. I have included a link to the clearance lights we carry for you.
