Questions & Answers

How do I know if these are LEDs?

There is no LED in this one.

How close are the mounting holes to each other?

24 1/2"

If you buy these lenses individually instead of the whole light, is it possible to buy just the amber covers?

In the case where you don't want to remove the mounting bracket and just use the lens, you have to purchase the whole light assembly

The light is it a single wire light or is it a duel wire light with a negative wire into a positive one? I need a single wire light. ?

A single wire passes through the light frame and is grounded.

Originally designed for a carry-on bag, this OEM light features The trailer has a utility compartment
4/5

Use a carry-on bag if you have one It is necessary to use this light when replacing the marker light on a utility trailer. If you want to use the OEM light, then this is what you will This has a Carry-On logo on it The replacement is just as good as the original. Based on the description, I gave it four stars. It is exactly what it claims. Despite the price, the light housing doesn't last forever. I deducted a star because it should at this price. The interior of these devices starts to corrode after a period of time. In light of the fact that there isn't much to say right now about this light, I thought I would share some details about how the replacement was accomplished. The inline splice connector, which is the blue thing in the picture, is the first thing we need to tell you about. Put that blue item in the trash if you have two or three inches of slack in the wires (which you may or may not have depending on how the trailer was wired). When the insulation on a source wire is pierced, it becomes exposed to the air, moisture, and contaminants, such as salt. Therefore, it is much better to simply cut the brown wire where the connector used to be and remove a quarter inch of insulation instead. The metal is corroded if it appears green or black rather than shiny. Trim that back to another quarter inch and strip it again so there is a quarter inch of conductor There should be nothing to worry about. Using an inline heat shrink connector next is a good idea. Adults 18 years old and older Your pink wire will be a gauge wire, which is probably what you have. Bring some corrosion to the surface Both edges of the connector should be greased in order to inhibit the electrical current. To complete the circuit, insert one brown wire into one end, the other brown wire into the other end, and both the black and brown wires into the other end, twisted together. As long as you use the pink connector, you will have enough room for both because it fits wire up to gauge 16, so there will not be too much extra space. It is obvious that a larger heat shrink connector should be used if you have larger wires. *Crimp the connections and heat shrink the connector so that moisture doesn't get inside. There is corrosion between the two Taking into account the grease you squirmed into that space and the heat-shrunk connector, you shouldn't have a corrosion problem at that point. Moreover, corrosion-resistant coatings should also be applied The electrical grease on the mounting screws, especially the back side of the screw head through which the light grounds, inhibits electrical conductivity. Around the screw hole, there will be a metal ring attached to the mounting flange. The corrosion of that metal ring is one of the common points of electrical failure on these lights. Corrosion occurs due to It will be easier to prevent that by inhibiting grease. You can use it for pretty much anything. The next step is to be sure that the light is working. In order for the light to work, it must be mounted as the grounding cable runs through the mounting screw. The system won't work if it is hanging on the side of the trailer. You can finish the job by carefully tucking the wires away to make it look pretty, if the light works.

A useful product, but very expensive
3/5

I bought it to replace a damaged carry handle on my laptop This trailer is on. It is unfortunate that TSC did not carry them (the store that sold the trailer). The one here was a perfect replacement for the other. There is one downside to this light it is very expensive compared to other marker lights available. The price is about twice as much. Value is the only factor considered.

It's a perfect fit
5/5

It was cracked and broken lenses on my trailer lights so I felt like I needed to buy this. In order to install the light, I had to buy it as a whole It is not possible for me to purchase the lenses separately. Although they do fit perfectly and look identical to the originals, they do lack some detail.

This is an exact substitute You can watch trailers on YouTube
3/5

My Carry-On lights came with the wrong type of lights, so I bought this to replace them This is on a trailer. The pros? A 194 wedge type bulb can be used as it is easily installed and upgrades to LED are also very simple. Pros and cons? more expensive than other marker options, not very waterproof (you will need to use dielectric bulb grease to prevent corros-.

The solution works! I used it for my carryon trailer and it worked great
5/5

There was a reason why Tractor Supply didn't carry these. If they sell the trailers, you would think that they would have them! I really like the way this worked! Thanks a lot!.

All in all, an average experience
3/5

The wire leads from the light are too sparse. There are splice points at the trailer harness that are not convenient. This item is simple, essential and easy to damage on trailers yet is a good value for it.

For an imperfect incident involving a rock, this is the perfect OEM piece
