Clearance/Marker Lights and Installation questions

I wanted to install some of those orange lights around the front of my truck and wanted to know hows the best way to do it.I wanted to install most of them in the front of the truck and maybe a few around the front fenders like maybe two on each side and a whole bunch in front of the grill.

I believe they just come with only one black(hot) wire on each light and sell around a buck a piece but i was wondering how do you install them and get them to work.How does the wiring work? Im not a pro at wiring or trailer wiring of any kind?

Re: Clearance/Marker Lights and Installation questions

You will be best served to find someone that will help you, for free or cash.

I will give you one little experiment, take the new light and lay the frame of the light on the negitive of a auto battery, and place the wire on the positive.
