Hey bushytas,

Finally found time to install the tail, brake, indicator and reverse lights on the GU. All up took a couple of hours and your step by step was invaluable, looks a treat now.
Also it's the hazard light fuse that blows, replaced it with a 15A one and now working fine.

Thanks again, really appreciated.

Cheers

Hi,number one never use scotch locs they Will fail, I just wired up my dummy lights, I used led globes that have 120 smd leds per globe thats 480 leds. my model needs 4 so its like daylight when I put the trol in reverse, globes only cost about $8 for x 2 on Ebay,. I even have them in my indicators and stop/park rear lights. The effect is awesome. I did put a resistor on the blinkers to stop the fast flash. Infact every globe on my truck is led. But stay away from those scotch locs

Agree with 3 Dogs here, scotch locks are quick and very easy, but they almost always WILL fail. They are pretty dodgy and no good auto elec would use them. Crimping is good but solder and heatshrink is the best way to connect wires in my opinion.

When local 4x4 shop fitted my towbar I noticed the scotch locs, went of my tree and told them this is a CHEAP way to do it. Always had trouble with my trailer brakes ,brake lights, etc. I fully soldered the trailer its now one wire from plug to globe, next trip still problems.
Removed SCOTCH LOCS on trailer plug, fully soldered all wires then shrink wrapped, MAGIC, never had a problem again. Sure out in the middle of the Simmo if they get you moving but DONT USE THEM THEY WILL FAIL
IFIi see them on someones truck I laugh, some swear by them, I'm not one and Kristoffa makes 2

Its not that hard or time consuming to get out the gas soldering iron..

yes i agree they do fail after a time due to water entering the connection thats why you will see gel caps in the picture but you are right soldering is the best way
