CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (454 kg)

should be of adequate capacity. Failure to do this
could lead to accelerated brake lining wear, higher
brake pedal effort, and longer stopping distances.

they are not oxidized.
•Replace the bulbs with the same type and wattage.
•After replacing a light bulb always check the correct
orientation.
