Hi, I'm Matt with the etrailer. Today we are going to be talking about the RV Designer Incandescent Marker Light. So let's take a closer look at it. Now I do want to say we do have this just set up for demonstration purposes today. So you might see a couple wires sitting up top. When you actually install it on your trailer, it's going to look a lot cleaner.
But I really want to just focus on how this is going to work and why you might need to replace one of these. So a common reason why you might want to replace one of these is you've had it for a long time. You just need to replace it because it's gone out. That's why you might need a new one. Or you've been driving through a really tight spot like a garage and it clipped the side of that light, it got damaged.
Or you're just driving on the road, things could kick up, you could hit a branch. Anything like that could damage something like this. That's why you might need a new one. And what's nice about the incandescent ones is they are going to be a little bit more dim compared to an LED one, so if you're not looking for anything that's going to be too bright, this is going to work just fine for you. Now I do want to say there are going to be different colors.
So typically you want to make sure you have your amber ones on the front of your trailer and you want to have the red ones on the back of your trailer. So just make sure you don't get them mixed up. I also want to talk about in some cases you might need a set amount of these, but it really is going to be determined by the size of your trailer and what state you live in. So I'd make sure you're just checking your state laws. Now I do want to speak a little bit to the quality of this.
So right now it's kind of hard to see that light. It's more apparent right in the very center of it. That's fine, still in the daytime, I think this is still going to be noticeable, but especially at night when you are changing lanes, people are going to be able to spot this a lot easier since we are going to have a light. And of course, when your own vehicle's light hit this, it's going to reflect right off of that. So they are going to be very visible. Now when it comes to right underneath here, the backside of it is going to have this casing that holds the light itself. That's going to be a black design. I'm a little bit more partial to that kind of design because it fits most trailers a little bit better than opposed to a white housing. Now of course, I'm a little bit more partial to an LED light just because they are a little bit brighter and being a little bit brighter doesn't really hurt anything. Now of course, if you just need something a little bit simple, I think this does the job as well. Now when it comes to installing it, that's where I think this one's really nice too, is it's going to have two black wires on the back of it. It works with power or ground, so you can't get them mixed up. So it's a really easy installation, which I can show you now. So the first thing we want to do is make sure we grab that light, and we want to take off the lens in the front of it. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to grab this flathead, and you're going to have the seam here where the base meets that lens. You're just going to apply some pressure, push up on it. I typically start at the center. And you can usually see some tabs here. You might be able to wedge your thumb in there to prevent it from falling down. And then I'll go to the corners. It'll come all the way off then. With that done, we want to make sure we find a good mounting location. So I'm going to go to where my old one was. Move these wires out of our way. And I know this hole here is going to be compatible because it'll be able to sit flush. Now if you have a spot where you really want to put this and you don't have a hole large enough to fit this on so it sits flush, you are going to have to enlarge a hole for it to do that. But if you already have that hole, this is going to be a lot easier. So I'll push this through and then I'll grab my hardware. All right, so we're just going to grab our old hardware. If your old hardware is in pretty bad shape, I'd make sure to grab some new stuff, line up that hole. It's once there before. If that hole is a little bit too large now after doing this, then you might have to get some larger hardware. So I'm just going to put this on here enough where it's
