What I Need To Install LED Trailer Lights On A Tent Trailer
Question:
Good afternoon. I really hope you can help me. I am looking for a trailer light kit for a small tent trailer that I have. I would like it to be round tailights, LEDs, surface mount, with side markers. I cant seem to find anything like that. Can you help me with that. Please.

I have the perfect way for you to install tailights on your tent trailer with everything you will need although it will not come in a kit.You will want to piece together a lighting assembly for your tent trailer with your exact specifications, which I have done for you.
For a set of round, surface mounted, LED taillights, I recommend using the Transit Tail Light part # STL90RB. These taillights are 7" wide X 1-7/16" thick and will work well for you. We also have a similar set of running lights in the Transit Turn Signal and Parking Light part # STL90AB. For clearance lights, I recommend using the Thinline LED Clearance and Side Marker Light part # A91AB which are 2-1/2" long X 1-3/16" wide. You will also want to use the Right Angle 2-Wire Pigtail for Optronics Trailer Lights part # A46PB and the Grommet for Optronics part # A91GB to install these lights on your trailer.
Now, in order to install all of these components, you will want to use a 4-way wiring harness like the Mighty Cord Wishbone 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector part # A10-4225VP, a set of wire connectors like the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector part # DW05744-5, and tube of dielectric grease like the Dielectric Grease for Electrical Connectors part # 11755.
I have also attached a review video on each of these products for you.
