Parts are missing... there is no way to connect the trailer lights to wire harness. The adapter is missing. Lights are useless to me this way.

Product works as advertised except for wire clips. They keep falling off.

I am very pleased with this product. Bought this kit to replace lights on a boat trailer from the 1980's.Install and wiring was easy to do with no problems. Lights worked great. Recommend this product.
by: Highwaystar47 12/04/2016
Again you Guys have made life easy with your video and helpful tips!
Like your shipping packages as well. Compact with little waste of materials.
I used this product as a light system for my motorcycle carrier when I haul my TW200. With the bike on the carrier the vehicle taillights are blocked.
The TL29K light kit was what I used to solve this problem.

Unfortunately, Optronics doesnt offer instructions for the # TL29BK trailer taillight kit. However, if you click the link I provided to the trailer wiring help article, youll see a wiring diagram showing how the kit would be used to wire a trailer.

Thanks Much, just got in from installing everything I ordered and it
all went on nicely. I rebuilt a 6' X 12' 1999 utility trailer
with treated lumber etc..........plus your parts, looks great. Thanks
again, going to do the same for another utility trailer I have, a
6' X 10, so, I'll be ordering from you later in the summer. Thanks
again

The connection (wire to taillight) for this trailer light kit is extremely flimsy and clearly not intended for external mounting. I ended up reordering submersible tail lights to get a more rugged connection. The wiring harness is fine and the tail lights work but the connection is flimsy.
It's very inexpensive but a few dollars more for a more rugged set of lights is probably a better buy.

Great product, fast shipping.

The product was fine, etrailer however packed heavy items with this causing one light to be smashed. Fortunately, not a part I absolutely needed so not worth the effort to RMA this.

The light kit was shipped promptly and nicely packaged. Everything looks to be made of very good components. I will be insalling this kit on a mobility scooter carrier and 90% of what I need was included in this kit.

First off--Dealing with etrailer.com was a pleasure. The trailer light kit was just what we needed. Unfortunately our older trailer would not provide as good a ground as that required. The forward clearance lights worked fine but we had to individually ground the rear lights directly to the trailer frame next to the light mounts. Also, one of the rear lights, the one without the license plate light, had debris inside that precluded it lighting appropriately. After completely disassembling it we found wire shavings/cuttings that impeded a solid contact. Fortunately the co-owner of the trailer is an electrician and he had all the solutions. Alone I would have had to hire someone.

Lights continue to function appropriately after a year of exposure to Montana weather.
by: Charles P.01/23/2015
The trailer kit I ordered arrived in a timely fashion and the items included are solid nice looking pieces.
I reviewed the video on installation and found the wiring and installation of the lights to be extremely simple. I rewired my entire trailer, replaced the tail lights and added the running lights (did not have these before I ordered the kit) in about two hours. Could have done it faster but I was in no rush.
I would definately recommend the company and products to anyone in need of replacing wiring and/or lights.

Product is still in place, still working beautifully. Did have to replace on of the tail lights but that was due to an issue with the tilt in the trailer and the light getting smashed on a rock -

Can't beat the prices and product selection. I was able to get bearings, races and seals to do two hubs for what I would have paid to do one locally. Although the bearing kits were made in China, they appeared to be a better quality bearing than the China bearings I removed from the hubs. No issues with packaging or shipping. Not only can one find parts here but, lots of good info and support as well.

The trailer I installed the parts on belongs to my 93 yr old neighbor. Needless to say, it is used very little. He and his son were planning on using it and wanted me to check it out before doing so. Thats when I discovered the need for new bearings and seals. He also wanted it road worthy for any of the neighbors that might need to borrow it. However, what time it has been used, it has done exceptionally well. Very smooth and quiet and although I had a bit of difficulty getting the pigtail to plug into the connection on the truck, all lights are working for the first time in many years. Thank you for checking in on us. Have a blessed day.

I haven't installed the lights yet as I'm waiting to get the trailer sandblasted and painted. But, it's exactly what I needed and I'm sure they're gonna work out just fine. eTrailer has a great lighting selection to choose from including LED's.

Looks nice, but no instructions whatsoever. The lights have copper holes in them, that are partially labeled, but some of the labels don't make any sense. And how can you stuff a twisted wire into a hole, it just doesn't work. How many engineers does is take to screw up a simple trailer light set? A pain in the butt, I wish I have never bought them. Will not by these sorts of things on line again, will go to local farm stores.

Each lamp will have two holes that are used for connection points. On the drivers side, one hole is for the brown wire, which is the running lamps. The other is for the left turn/brake lamp, which is the yellow wire. On the passenger side, one hole is for the brown running lamp wire, the other for the green right turn/brake lamp wire. To the wires, use a small flat blade screwdriver and push it in the small hole under the larger hole where the wire s. Push the stripped wire in until it stops, then remove the screwdriver. This locks the wire into place.

I bought springs, mounts and Tailight kit to fix up a rusty utility trailer. I cut, weld scraped and painted for the better part of a month in spare time. The springs and mounting instructions on e trailer are excellent. Only issue/shortcoming are the tail lights. Wire just pushes in and spring loaded strip holds them. I soldered and sealed the connection with silicone. So far that salt covered roads haven't hurt it in winter. The folks at etrailer are very helpful and prices are a good value.

See what our Experts say about this Optronics Trailer Lights
- Trailer Right Turn Signal Only Works when the Brake Lights are OnThis sounds like a ground issue and/or a short. Ground problems normally show up when there is more draw on a system such as when you have the running lights on and then use another function like a turn signal or brake light but can show up any time. A short could be caused by corrosion or loose or damaged wiring connections. Make sure that the vehicle side and trailer side connectors are clean and free of corrosion inside and out. The main connector grounds should be attached to clean...
view full answer... - Trailer Light Kit wiring attachment, TL29BKYou plug the corresponding wires on the TL29BK kit into the upper (larger) holes on the back of the taillights. There are two holes for tail/brake lights and running lights. These holes are labeled. The wires should be stripped prior to insertion. The lower (smaller) set of holes are there to allow removal of the wires if need be. You would stick a small round object into the lower hole and press, releasing the wire. After inserting the wires they should be routed along the indention...
view full answer... - Wiring Trailer Lamp With Red and Black WiresOn the taillight itself, the black is typically the running lamp and the red is usually the brake lamp and turn signal. As far as the wiring on your trailer goes, the brown wire is for the running lights, the yellow is for the left turn signal/brake lamp and the green wire is right turn and brake lamp. If the lamp doesn't have a dedicated white ground wire, it will get its ground connection through its connection to the trailer frame. I've linked to some trailer wiring diagrams that you'll...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Nissan Truck Not Activating Trailer Stoplights and BlinkersMost likely it's dirty pins on your trailer wiring connectors. Specifically the ground circuit not being able to provide the amperage for the brighter illumination circuit of the brake and turn signals so try cleaning that. You should also check for blown fuses and relays under hood as well.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Light Assembly that Doesn't Work On One Side of TrailerTry swapping the left side light assembly with the right to see if the problem stays on the same side of the trailer or moves to the other side. If the problem stays on the same side there is a problem with the ground or the wiring of the lighting. If the problem moves then you know the issue the light assembly. You may try running a jumper wire for the ground for the bad assembly back up to the main ground of the trailer.
view full answer... - Locating a Lighting problem on a Boat Trailer with 4-Way Flat WiringIt sounds as if the trailer wiring is wired properly. You can splice into the brown tail light wire at any point and run it to the other side of the trailer. As long as the connector on your vehicle is wired and grounded properly the problem is with the trailer. A couple of things to look at would be the connection of the tail light mounting brackets to the trailer and the license plate bracket on the left side. If the mounting brackets are bolted to the trailer frame, remove them and...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting New Wiring On Landscape Trailer Working Until Taillights Were Wired InSince the running lights worked until you installed the tail lights on your trailer, it sounds like a bad/weak ground. How exactly did you ground the main ground up front? I'd check that it's secured to clean metal and didn't come loose. It's a tell tale ground issue symptom that when multiple lights are powered the ground cannot handle that much load and turns off. Let me know what you find and we can continue troubleshooting if needed.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring And Brake Controller When Getting Error CodesThis is a tough problem. We need to start with the signal you are getting to the brake controller. You said you are getting a code for a short when you step on the brakes. Since you said the tow vehicle and brake controller check out, and the trailer is connected to the tow vehicle, the problem would indicate there is a short somewhere on the trailer. This can be an exposed or cut wire between the trailer connector and the brake assemblies. There are times when bad brake magnets can also...

You will not have the same issue with it. Please note that this light kit has lights that ground through the mounting studs. The mounting surface must be clean and free of corrosion and avoid putting anything in between the light and the trailer frame. If you do run into a ground problem then make sure that the vehicle side and...
view full answer... - How to Wire a Ground Wire to a Trailer Light that Grounds Through Mounting HardwareWhat you would want to do is run the white wire on your trailer's wiring to the ground screw area of the trailer light to ensure that the ground will be sufficient for the light. Then you would just run the power wire to the single wire of the light and you would be good to go.

I am including a link to a video of the light kit being installed on a trailer and another video of a review on the light kit. These videos will help you with the installation process. Also, I am including a link to a FAQ page on trailer wiring.
view full answer... - Does the Standard Trailer Light Kit # TL29BK Have Enough Wire To Install on a 6x12 foot TrailerYou should have more than enough wire, the Standard Trailer Light Kit with 25' Wire Harness # TL29BK that you referenced comes with 25 feet of wire and your trailer is only 12 feet long so you should be good. Check out the review video I attached for this kit as well.
view full answer... - Can Standard Trailer Light Kit # TL29BK Be Used on 5 by 8 TrailerYes, if you wanted to use the # TL29BK you certainly could. It would just be a matter of having more wiring harness than you'd need which can easily be trimmed down if needed. I attached an install video that shows this kit installed on a similar smaller trailer as well.
view full answer... - Do All Lights Need to be Grounded on a Trailer with Incandescent Lights?With incandescent lights, you do not need to ground both lights. This is something that needs to be done with LED lights due to them drawing significantly less power. However, if you will upgrade to LED lights at some point, it never hurts to have everything already run to where it needs to be.
view full answer... - Is the 25 feet of Wire with the Standard Trailer Light Kit # TL29BK for Both Sides of the TrailerYes, from the 4-Way flat connector on the Standard Trailer Light Kit # TL29BK there is 25 feet worth of wiring which you will split down the sides of your trailer. An installation video has been attached for you to use as a reference.

That being said you'll want to make sure US style lighting is legal where you'll be traveling. If so the part # TL29BK would be an easy way to rewire your trailer to this style of lighting which would work well with your Sorento.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Brake Controller Installation on 1998 Land Rover Discovery 1The issue you are finding is likely due to the way you have your brake controller wired. The brake light switch is the only thing that should be connected to that red wire. The brake light wire for the trailer connection may be back-feeding into the controller the way you have it wired. I've linked a help article to properly installing a brake controller and any changes from the diagram are not recommended as they can impact correct functioning.

- Right Turn Signal Only Works when Brakes Applied on Trailer Towed by 2010 Hyundai TucsonThis sounds like a ground issue since it is just the turn signal on the right side.. What you will want to do is make sure that the main trailer connector ground and the light grounds are all attached to clean and corrosion free bare metal surfaces. Also make sure the trailer and vehicle side connectors are clean and that the trailer wiring converter on the vehicle, unless it was a factory harness, is properly grounded to bare metal.
view full answer... - New Trailer Light Kit Not Working with 2 VehiclesSince none of the lights of the light kit # TL29BK work I'm guessing the problem is with the white ground wire. Make sure it's grounded to a clean, bare metal surface on the trailer's steel frame. If your trailer has an aluminum frame then you need to run a wire from the connector's white wire back to the mounting studs of each light in order to get a good ground. As far as wiring goes the wires are green for right turn and brake lights, yellow for left turn and brake lights and then...

- Running Lights on Trailer Impeding the Brake Lights from WorkingThis could still be a grounding issue. Though the grounding wire may test successfully, there could still be corrosion or buildup that is preventing a full enough connection to power everything at the same time. I would start by cleaning the connection points or moving them to another point if that is easier. Once finished, test the main ground on the vehicle and trailer again. I've included a link to our 4 and 5-Wire Troubleshooting page. If that does not solve the problem, I would...
