How big of a wire do I need for a trailer light?
This is just a standard 4 way connector with a ground, parking, and signal or brake lights. I believe there is about 25ft of wiring which should be plenty for a trailer of this size. They also provide the vehicle side connector too which I don’t need as the tow vehicle already has that installed.
When did I install LED lights on my trailer?
LED lights had been installed on this trailer about a year ago. If any paint work or welding is required, I would recommend doing that first before installing the new wiring. To make this tutorial easier to understand, I will be flipping the trailer on it’s side so everything is easily viewable.
Where to wire the lights on a tilt trailer?
You’ll need to plan where to run the wiring, considering this is a tilt trailer I’ll run it up the center and then it’ll split at the back of the trailer to each light. Try to keep it away from the wheels as that’s where most of the road debris will be thrown up.
Where does the white wire go in a trailer?
The White Wire is the “Ground” or “Negative” wire connecting to the vehicle battery “minus” side. The trailer wiring diagram shows this wire going to all the lights and brakes. Also, it must connect with things (if included) that use the Aux Power and Back-up lights too.

Can a 4 Way Plug be used for a trailer light?
Wiring Trailer Lights with a 4-Way Plug (It’s Easier Than You Think) Many standard light-duty trailers, such as many boat trailers and utility trailers, use a 4-way wiring harness to connect to the tow vehicle. This connection provides the required running lights, turn signals, and brake lights for the trailer.
What kind of wire do you need for running lights on a trailer?
Traditionally, the running light circuit (typically the brown wire) is carried on a single wire, so a jumper wire and some additional butt connectors are required to feed the running lights on the opposite side of the trailer. As a simpler alternative, you can use a wishbone harness (also known as a Y harness) such as this one.
