Most motorcycle trailer lights are comprised of brake lights, turn signals and running lights. These lights are found on the back of the motorcycle and are important when riding to indicate when you are stopping or making a turn. They also enable other drivers to see you at night. Some trailers have fog lights, front marker lights and side marker lights, depending on their length and width.
Instructions
1. Purchase suitable trailer light connectors from trailer accessory dealers online or from local retailers. Purchase the connectors according to the number of lights on the trailer. There are a variety of trailer light connectors available, from four-way to seven-way connectors.
2. Open the panels that contain the light wires for the trailer that you are connecting using the screwdriver, then identify and isolate all of the wires according to color.
3. Open the trailer light connector and loosen the screws in all of the slots. These slots are usually marked according to the color of the cable to which they connect. If numbers are used, a reference chart is usually supplied.
4. Connect and screw in the wires from the trailer to the slots in the connectors, according to color. The green and yellow wires are usually for the left and right turn indicator lights, the white wire is for the ground, and the blue and brown wires are for the brake lights and the tail lights, respectively.
5. Close the connector, screwing it back together firmly, then plug it into the corresponding motorcycle or vehicle connector port, which has slots of equal number to the pins from the trailer connector. Mount the connector to the motorcycle or vehicle using a mounting bracket to prevent it from dangling.
