Unpackage new hardware

Drill holes if necessary, the new lights did not fit into the existing holes in my trailer.

Bolt new light onto frame of trailer. Make sure to use washer, locking washer & nut for added peace of mind.

Make sure it's straight.

Start stripping your wires with your crimpers. Sorry the pick is blurry, phone wouldn't focus.

Slide one end of the wire into the crimp, and squeeze crimper to hold it tight.

Put the other end in and repeat. Make sure they are tight by lightly pulling each end. Also make sure you match colors!

Attach the rest of the crimps and screw your white ground wire into the frame of the trailer. Mine is partially black because the original wire did not reach the old hole and I didn't want to make another hole.

Make sure the ground is tight.
