[QUOTE="CRAPPIE_SLAYER, post: 113460, member: 667"] Couldn't tell from the pics, but if you have a split trailer it may be causing a ground problem for the lights. When I did mine, all of the lights worked until I hit the brakes, and then they all went out. Did some reading and found it was due to a weak ground. I ended up running a second ground wire from the ground in the front part of my trailer to a spot on the back half. Also found that when I painted the trailer it covered the mounting holes for the lights themselves and it was getting a weak ground there. [/QUOTE]
