trailer Wiring?
 

Hello Group
I have a snowmobile trailer just like this one

http://www.northtrailtrailers.com/images/SN101-10.JPG


It seems everytime I'm loading the sleds on it,
it is dark out. I'm toying with an idea to put a cargo/spot light
on the inside of the salt shield.
Anyone have any recomendations to add power
for the light to this trailer? Is there a different class
of wiring harness that would provide power etc..

Thanks in advance
Frank

Re: trailer Wiring?
 

That trailer likely has the flat-4 connector. You could use the "park
light" circuit to supply a low power clear lens fixture. If you want
something brighter like a fog lamp you will need a higher power auxiliary
circuit normally provided in the 6-8 prong connectors on the newer tow
vehicles. You failed to state your tow vehicle.

What about a couple of those bright LED's on a toggle switch from the
running lights? They are low power and pretty bright.

I just have a halogen hand held from Canadian Tire that plugs into the
cigarette lighter with about 10' of wire for that kind of stuff. I like
the mobility of it vs fixed lights. I sit it on the roof lots.
