Headlight lens restorer, should clear it up quite a bit. You can get it at Walmart,
That's a great idea never thought of that. I use the Plastix brand made by meguiars and it works great on lights. That little foam ball costs a small fortune though lol

Dang bud! 2 trailer flats in one trip?? Somebody upstairs was mad at you! Lol
Good thing I have my tractor on the trailer, I used it as a jack on the second flat. Used a curb in a parking lot for the first on.
I'm just glad it happened before we left for Tennessee
P.S. I had a right front tire on my tow rig seperate yesterday too! $1700 for truck tires and $200 worth of trailer tires all in one day.

I meant to find one of those pieces shaped like a triangle on top and circle on the bottom. You place it under axle and drive vehicle forward or back to raise that tire. That'd be perfect Jack for the Pioneer.

I need help.. I smashed my trailer lights. Ok i bought some new LED kind and they do not light up. Tried two sets. I hooked my old ones up and they work fine. The len is smashed on old ones so i have to replace them. Why would the old ones just reguler trailer light work but not the new led ones? I don't get it.

Be sure to check your wiring for.correct polarity and good grounds. The LED lighting is polarity senitive and some may require a desiganted ground wire. Power probe 3 is your best friend right now!!!

I've not got the ground wire hooked up at all. The one coming from 4 way plug. The new lights have a ground that is supposed to go on the lights bolts. i guess i need to try hooking the ground up that comes from plug. With the old lights i never used the ground. Thanks

Also you can test the lites with a 9volt battery to find the correct combination.

There's a yellow and black and white ground from the drivers side and green and black and white ground from passengers side. It's all hooked up right. They just do not work at all. I guess it's the ground that could be the only thing. The ground coming from 4 way plug is the only thing that is not hooked up.

I had to have bare metal for the ground to register. Each light was a separate ground and was touchy

Take some jumper cables and connect from you tow vehicle to the trailer. May help with the ground

Guessing color is the turn signal, black is running lites and white ground.
Also should use the white/ground on the plug all the way back to help with grounding. I have seen LEDS flicker pretty bad when using the trailer ball for ground connection between
