• How to Wire the GloLight LED Trailer Tail Light Part # STL178RB to a Trailer Connector
  The white wire on the back of the GloLight LED Trailer Tail Light part # STL178RB is for the ground. If you were wiring it to a trailer connector like part # HMC20031 then you would just need to make sure that it is attached to the ground terminal and no additional grounds would be needed. The outer ring of the light that you are referring to is made of plastic just like the body of the light is. The wire leads are around 6" long. I have attached a review video for you.

• Can Optronics Trailer Taillight # STL178RB be Used as Just Stop and Taillight
  The part # STL178RB you have now can also be used as just a stop and running light assembly. All that matters is the way it's wired since you are wanting to use it only as a stop and tail. So for that you'd need the # 118158 to separate out the stop from turn circuit so that you could have the lights ran as only the two circuits you want.

• Cargo Trailer Lighting That Splices Into Existing Wiring
  If your current lights with a rubber flange are ineffective, the GloLight LED Trailer Tail Light - Stop, Tail, Turn # STL178RB would be a good option as a replacement as long as the dimensions of 7-1/2" wide x 3-5/16" tall x 1-1/8" work for your trailer. The GloLight has a built-in polycarbonate flange which should offer you more stability.

• Brake Lights and Fender Lights for Enclosed Trailer
  We can get you the right lights for your trailer, but just keep in mind that we don't have a way of knowing the exact replacement lights on any trailer, so if you want to utilize the same mounting holes, for example, you will need to measure the center-to-center mounting dimensions, or you can simply make new mounting holes if you like. From what I can see of photos I looked up of your trailer, they all seem to be surface-mounted lights, so here is a list of what you can use. - GloLight...

• Which Diodes of the Optronics Light Illuminate When Brakes/Running Lights Apply STL78RB
  When the running light circuit is activated all diodes of the # STL78RB would activate. When the brake lights or blinkers are applied the outside diodes get brighter. To see the difference check out the review video I attached. The GloLight part # STL178RB is also a great choice. I attached a review video for this light as well for you to see the differences.

• Best Thin, Surface-Mounted Trailer Tail Lights
  The best surface-mounted, thin trailer tail light is an LED light from Optronics: - GloLight LED Trailer Tail Light # STL178RB This is the best light for a number of reasons, starting with its 22 diodes, which will give it a brighter, more visible look than similar lights.

• How To Re-Wire Your Boat Trailer's 5 Way Wiring And Install New LED Lights
  I recommend using 40 Ft 5-Way Trailer Wiring Harness # A40W5B, which is a kit that will replace your entire 5 way boat wiring setup and give you the 5 way connection at the front of the trailer. The lighting wires are 40 feet long, which will be more than enough. It comes with a 30" ground wire (white) that will be connected to the frame of your trailer. The blue wire is 60" and will be connected to your brake solenoid if you have one; your trailer may not require this, as it may use a...

• Replacement LED Light Recommendations For Trailer
  For a grommet mount red 2 inch clearance light I recommend part # MCL55R1224B. This light uses a 2-wire pigtail, part # A46PB for installation. If you need amber, you would order part # MCL55A1224B. Installed without a grommet, these lights measure 2 inches diameter x 1 inch deep. You can use the 2 inch grommet part # A54GB for this light for a flush mount. It would require a 2-5/16 inch mounting hole. The tail lights I recommend are the Optronics GLOLight LED Stop/Turn/Tail Light, part...

• What Are the DOT Requirements for License Plate Lights
  You'll only need a license plate light like the # OPT77FR directly over the license plate, on whatever side of the trailer that you're mounting the plate. What the 2 on each side is referring to is that you could use 2 lights on each side of the license plate if you wanted, or 1 directly over the center of the plate, but I can understand why the wording here is confusing. You can easily mount this under the # STL178RB you've already installed and make the trailer DOT compliant. I've linked...

• Does Optronics LED Trailer Light Use Reflector Ring
  The GloLight LED Trailer Tail Light # STL178RB will not work with the Snap-on Reflector Ring for STL78RB Series LED Lights # A78RXB as it will not fit the light. If you wanted to use that reflector ring you would need the Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light # STL78RB. This is similar to the GloLight but has a lip around the edge that allows it to accept the Reflector Ring. You can use these lights for your trailer as long as they have the side marker lights. I have added a link to a help...

• Optronics 6-1/2 by 2-1/4 Inch Oval LED GloLight, Mounting Bracket, Grommet, and Pigtail
  For Trailer Light Mounting Bracket # BK70BB you would use light # STL111RB with grommet # a70gb and wiring pigtail # A47PB. I have included links to videos of all three of these parts for you. Light # STL178RB would not fit in the mounting bracket since it has its own flange for surface mounting.

• How Long Will Optronics GLOLight LED Stop/Turn/Tail Light # STL178RB Run w/ 7 Amp-Hour Battery
  The Optronics GLOLight LED Stop/Turn/Tail Light, # STL178RB, draws a total of .885 amps, .59 amps for the stop/turn lights and .295 for the taillight. Since you are planning to use a 7 amp-hour sealed lead acid battery to continuously power the light, I am going to estimate that the battery will last approximately 7 to 8 hours. Please keep in mind that the condition of the battery is going to greatly affect the run time of the lights.
