F. While assembling and setting up the
Trailer Lights keep work area clean and
well lighted. Keep spectators and chil-
dren out of the work area.
3. Use of the Trailer Lights
A. Do not modify the Trailer Lights and do
not use this product for purposes that it was
not designed for.
B. This 12V LED Trailer Light kit is designed
for trailers less than 80 inches in width. Only
install these lights on a 12V negative ground
circuit. Adhere to all Department of Trans-
portation (DOT) standards and regulations
regarding light kits.
C. As pertaining to lights on trailers, read
and adhere to all safety guidelines and
instructions provided by the manufacturer of
the trailer.
D. If you are not experienced in assembling
and setting up 12V electrical products such
as this one, the work should be done by a
qualied service technician.
E. Keep children and spectators clear of the
area when setting up this product and when
maneuvering a towed vehicle.
F. Note: If the trailer is wider than 80 inch-
es, DOT standards require the installation of
3 additional red marker lights (not included in
this kit) to the rear of the trailer.
If the trailer has turn signals that are wired
separately from the stop lights, di󰀨erent
installation methods than described in this
manual will be required. Contact a qualied
service technician for assistance.
G. The vehicle/trailer must be in a safe,
level location away from moving tra󰀩c when
the Trailer Lights are installed. Vehicle’s en-
gine must be OFF and parking brake set.
H. To verify that the correct wire has been
located on the tow vehicle’s wiring harness,
it is recommended that a circuit tester (not
included) be used.
I. Only set up lights with red lights facing
backward (towards tra󰀩c behind). Test
the operation of the lights before driving in
tra󰀩c. Once Trailer Lights are in operation,
periodically pull over and check the position
and operation of the lights. Wind, vibration
and road conditions can a󰀨ect the position of
the lights. Make sure that the lights remain
securely in position.
J. Save packaging information and name-
plates on the Trailer Lights. They contain
important information and must always
remain readable. Contact MAXXHAUL for
replacements.
Keep in mind that the warnings previous-
ly discussed cannot cover all possible

wires are placed down the right side of the
trailer. Use included Frame Clips to attach
the wires to the sides of the trailer frame.

Hand Tail Light.
Use another Wire Connector to attach Brown
wire to Brown wire.
F. Attach the White Ground wire to the trailer
frame (must be a clean, bare metal surface).

Testing and Using the Trailer Lights
1. With wiring complete, connect the Trunk
Harness plug to the Y-Harness plug.
2. With a second person as a spotter, turn
on headlights of towing vehicle. The two
trailer tail lights should turn on.
3. When the vehicle’s brake pedal is de-
pressed, the brighter Stop Lights should ap-
pear. When the turn signal is activated, the
brighter blinking lights should appear. Note:
the ignition key must be in the ON position
when testing the lights.
Test all lights be-
fore each use. Make sure trailer light
operation always matches vehicle light
operation. Periodically check all wiring for
proper connections and to make sure that
no wire deterioration has occured.
WARNING
When servicing or testing lights, make sure
vehicle is in a safe location away from tra󰀩c
with parking brake activated.
4. Problem solving: Some ideas when
lights are not working properly.
A. If trailer light operation is not consis-
tent with vehicle light operation, the Trunk
Harness may not be wired properly to the
vehicle’s electical system. Also check that
Y-Harness is properly wired to each trailer
light.
B. One or more of the LED lights ickers or
fails to light up: Wiring may be disconnected
or loose. Ground wire may not have a prop-
er connection. LED light may be burned out
- the Trailer Light will have to be replaced.
C. If Trailer Lights do not turn on: Running
lights of vehicle may be turned o󰀨. Ground
wire may be loose or disconnected. Trailer’s
wiring harness may be disconnected.
D. Blown fuse in vehicle: Diagnose for short
circuit in lights or wiring. Make sure routed
wires are not pinched.
