Re: Tail light, brake, turn signal, backup light ideas?

apologies, it's been awhile since I did the tail lights and I forgot that the threaded tube from the household light fixture was actually too small to run the required number of wires through, so I drilled a hole in the light housing and ran a rubber hose over to the box, below the mounting, for all the wires. stop/turn, tail, backup and ground. there are 2 sizes of those lamp fixture threaded tubes, I used the larger of them. available at home depot. there is also a chromed flexible tube available for running the wiring through. a trailer wiring connection could be used in the harness close to the light, if desired, so the light becomes easily removed or the wiring easily tested later. there is a cheap tool available that plugs into a trailer plug for testing the trailer plug connection, it has lights built in so they light up if the appropriate circuit is powered.
