This makes much more sense than the printed directions.

Finally someone who made a great easy to understand video.

[@hawkdaddy64]

Great video done correctly. I will add that by installing that new light kit to that trailer the trailer has doubled in value.

[@karlnilsen2538]

Thanks Curt and especially Matthew Sollman for this straightforward video. Even though the lights I replaced were grounded differently, I was successful installing this kit and they lit up first first try.

Thank you Karl! Tow safely!

[@alfredstanley4879]

Very good. Brief and focused. I especially appreciated showing how the snap log is used. I've used them before but not often enough that a little review isn't helpful.

[@curtmfg]

Glad it was helpful!

Question, how good are those snap locks for the markers? Is it safer to just hardwire the markers in? Or are the snap locks better?

[@curtmfg]

Great question. The snap locks are convenient, easy to use and allow a splice without cutting or striping. Other than that they offer no advantage. If you would prefer to hard wire the marker lights for a more secure connection, that is a great way to do it!

Do not watch any other videos,. "This is the Correct way vedio.

[@Macgrower1986]

how does the wires stay in the light ? what holds them in?

[@curtmfg]

There is a spring that opens to let the wires in, and then squeezes them tight, holding them place once in position.

[@zeediaz3821]

That's one rusty trailer but great video 👏

[@curtmfg]

Yes it was

[@kirkferentzrocks]

Funny thing, as a boat trailer those lights will short out in the water, no water proofing
