What Function Is Each Wire on Optronics 80 Inch 3 Function LED Light # STL69RRXB

Question:

Just received lights and need to know what wires go to what wire for running lights and brake light. Also there is no gasket, am I missing them or just use gasket material. Thank you.

The White wire will be the ground and should be connected to the trailer frame or a clean metal surface. The Black wire will be connected to the tail light circuit. The Red wire will be connected to the Brake and Turn Signal circuit.

The Optronics 80 Inch 3 Function LED Light, part # STL69RRXB, is a sealed light and does not require use of a gasket.

To connect the wires, you will want to use butt connectors, part # 05732-2, and I would recommend wrapping the connections in electrical tape. We also have available Hopkins Deluxe Trailer Wiring Installation Kit, part # HM51020, which includes parts necessary for wiring, such as wire cutters, electrical tape, and connectors.

I have linked an FAQ on trailer wiring that you may find as a good reference.
