Ryan: Hey everybody, Ryan here at etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Optronics driver's side LED tail light. This is also available for the passenger side as well. The light is going to have LEDs, which lasts a really long time, and it's going to have 23 diodes, which as you can see, even on a really bright sunny day, the light is going to shine really bright and other motorists are going to have no problem seeing you. The light is going to be specifically designed for boat trailers, which means it is going to be submersible. However, I always do recommend whenever you go to launch your boat to just turn the power off on the lights just to be on the safe side.So the back of our light is all nice and sealed and really well-built, feels like it'll hold up for a while, and it's also going to have some little cutouts here and what that's going to allow us to do is push our wiring down flush, that way we don't have to worry about pinching it.
We're going to have a few slots as well, and those are going to be there for our included hardware, so those slide in. That way, we'll have multiple different mounting options.On the bottom of the light, we're going to have a clear lens, and what that's going to do is allow light to pass down. That way, if your license plate is mounted under it, it's also going to act as a license plate light, so you kind of get two for one here. There's also going to be reflectors all around the light and that's just going to go the extra mile, when there are other motors behind you with their headlights on, kind of shines a little bit brighter. Now, once you get your hands on the light, it does feel pretty well built.
For the most part, everything's nice and tight, and so that leads me to believe you shouldn't have any issues with moisture or dirt and debris getting inside.I'll give you a few measurements to make sure the light will work with your setup. From end to end, it's going to be seven and seven eighths of an inch long, it's going to be three and one quarter of an inch tall, and as far as the thickness or the depth of the light, it's going to be two and seven eights of an inch. So overall, it's going to be a great replacement or even an upgrade over the traditional style incandescent bulbs. The LEDs are going to shine much brighter, last a lot longer and even use less power.As far as the installation goes, it's really straightforward. These more or less, in most cases, are just going to be a direct replacement and you won't have to modify anything, really more or less just hook the wires up.
Speaking of which, let's go ahead and do that together now.So to begin your install, what's your first going to want to do is take the yellow and brown wire coming out of the back of the light and hook it up to your existing trailer wiring. In our case and in most cases, the existing trailer wiring will be color for color, so brown and yellow. And so what we're going to do is add on a butt connector, that way we can complete the circuit. So I'm just going to strip back a little more insulation here on our tail light wires, and give them a good twist. And what I like to do is use heat shrink butt connectors.
That way, it'll help keep everything sealed up. Now the light doesn't come included with these butt connectors, but if you need some, you can find them here at etrailer. So that just slides right over one end, clamp it down, do the same thing with the yellow wire, and we're just going to match them up color for color. The yellow wire will plug into our existing yellow trailer wire, clamp it down, and same thing with our brown.Once I'm connected, I like to just very gently kind of pull on each end and make sure we have a good connection, and once we verify that, I'll come back with a heat source and seal up our heat shrink ends. This is how our butt connectors look once we have the ends all sealed up. What I'm going to do is just grab some electrical tape and wrap them up just to go a step further, start to feed our extra wiring back into the frame, make it a little easier to work with here.Now that we have the majority of our wire tucked away, a little easier to see what we're do
