You can do it yourself for sure, I rewired my own and I'm a idiot, I know because people have told me so.

Here's a link to what you're looking for . Make sure you ask for underwater lights as the regular trailer lights wont last very long . I learned the hard way trying to save a few bucks . Most auto parts places or west marine carry them . Or go to G&H . Dont pull all the old wires as you will use them to pull the new ones in . If you run into trouble feel free to PM me I may be able to help you out.http://www.amazon.com/LED-Low-Profil.../dp/B000CHMG26

I did mine too. Really not difficult at all. For lights, I highly recommend the sealed LEDs. They are the only ones, for me, that didn't start acting up after getting soaked.

Green to Grass, Yellow to Road

In other words the green wire is the right turn and brake light wire and the yellow is the left . Brown wire is running lights and needs to be brought down both sides.The white is the ground and should be attached up at the tounge of the trailer. Remove the old lights and cut the plug off the old harness at the hitch end . Wrap and tape new wires to old wires about 4 inches so they dont pull apart when you pull .Good luck.

Thanks Chuck, I guess I was a little vague

Actually, the white ground....."ideally" should be grounded directly to your truck, not the trailer, if you can. Unfortunately, many light kits "blank out" the white wire where it normally goes to the plug, and they leave it slack to attach to the trailer. Not good.

This means your ground is entirely dependent on the ball/hitch "connection" (friction only), which is sometimes not good until you drive down the road a ways and "seat them", wearing off the rust.

So try to make the connection so that the white wire directly grounds to the truck somehow. If not, it isn't the end of the world.......
