Optronics STL78 Series Combination Trailer Tail Light 6 Inch Oval Sealed LED Light Surface Mount Diagram

Sonically Sealed, Waterproof Trailer Light

The waterproof construction of this light makes it ideal for use on trailers that may be submerged, like a boat trailer. The housing and lens are sonically sealed together to create a single unit, which means that water will not get into the light and damage the diodes or circuit board.


Surface-Mount Light

Surface mount light

Surface-mount lights install flat against the surface of the trailer, so a hole does not need to be cut into the trailer for the light. This type of light is installed using a flange or bracket that has mounting holes. And mounting hardware is used to secure the light to the trailer.

Wasn't sure if this was the exact same light as the one that I had since my trailer light was totally destroyed. It did look like the one that was still in place. So I ordered it and it was shipped very quickly and it was an exact match to the one that was still attached. Thank You for having the exact replacement it's all installed and ready for my next trip

Thats awesome to hear! Where are you all headed next?



by:

Nice design and quality material make this replacement tail/brake light an easy upgrade. Best part is changing over to LED lighting..using less battery juice and eliminating incandescent bulb failure…Txs



by:

This product was a perfect replacement for OEM. Installation was simple. Ordering process and delivery by eTrailer was spot on. I will definitely continue to utilize eTrailer for my future trailer repair and upgrade projects.



by:

After figuring out what wires were what on my trailer and the lights everything works as it should.

After a year everything is still working as it should.



by:

Very nice product. Installation on my very old utility trailer was easy. I like the slim design compared with my old chunky incandescent lights which were easy to break and not as bright as these LEDs.



by:

Easy install looks great on my trailer without needing to cut the oblong holes for the light. Only need to drill a small hole for the wires and the mounting screws.



by:

Great product and OEM replacement on my Sundowner 777 gooseneck horse trailer



by:

After a year of use they still work great, and all the bulbs are still lighting up.



by:

The 10-diode tail lights were well made, bright, and easy to install. We also ordered and installed the matching reflector rings, which were also easy to install, look great, and give added safety features.

Lights are sleek and a perfect replacement. Still doing an excellent jodb! Would purchase again if needed.



by:

Direct replacement on my Circle J horse trailer.



by:

Was exactly what I needed: Surface mount, holes exactly 7 inches apart for the sides. Needed it for a replacement on our 2018 Grand Design 399TH Momentum.



by:

This item was easy to order, came as expected and is doing it's job as expected. very satisfied with everything.



by:

Great value, good communication and fast shipping. Highly recommend trailer!



by:

Very clean installation on my home-built e-tricycle carrier. Works perfectly. Nice and bright!



by:

Perfectly replaced the factory ones on my skeeter trailer.



by:

After one of the the incandescent trilights the factory installed on my trailer burnt out I discovered they where sealed and the bulbs could not be replaced,
So I purchased two of these and discovered they are ery nice lights and unlike incandescent lights they don't screw up the turn signal flash rate.

I am now in the process of rebuilding a trailer mounted generator and just ordered 2 more of them for that trailer and I also bought LED marker lights from the same manufacturer.

If you need new or replacement taillights or marker lights LED's are the way to go, long lasting, nice and bright and in my opinion they way they instantly light up get more attention from drivers behind me possibly reducing the chances of getting my trailer rear ended by a inattentive driver.



by:

Better than OEM!



by:

Now that I'm finishing up on my Teardrop Trailer I've got these lights installed, along with a LED tag holder, and LED marker lights. I had also bought the fenders from etrailer they look great, and I get a lot of comments how good all these parts look. Oh and the prices are better then any place I could find.......Thanks etrailer



by:

I bought one of theses lights last year to replace one that had some of the LED's going out. Same manufacturer and same part number. The new light uses a different type of LED (square LED). The old style used an LED that looks more like a small bulb. I have 4 of these on the back of my 5th wheel trailer. The other three started going bad so I just replaced them as well. I have other LED lights inside the trailer that use the same type of LED as the new tail lights. I've had those lights for 6 years with no problems. . I suspect these new lights will last much longer with the new type of LED.



by:

Super easy to install. Took me about 30 minutes to do both lights. Good & bright. Much better than the factory installed tail lights. Very pleased!



by:

Wired them in and they light up, blink, and do everything else they're supposed to do. Let me also mention that they are BRIGHT at night. Loading the boat onto the trailer at dusk/after dark they're almost blinding when the pickup driver steps on the brakes. Lol



by:

Good product. Horizontal bolt hole spacing is the same as a license plate so it conveniently mounts anywhere a license plate would. The LEDs are bright enough as auxiliary running/turn/brake lights and the wiring is simple. The mounting flange is not very strong plastic so you have to be careful not to crank down on the mounting bolts. There is no hardware included and no gasket for the backside, which is a bummer. Otherwise, a very nice product.



by:

Received quickly saved me about



by:

I had a hitch carrier in the garage and wanted to add brake lights/turn signals. Since there were no mounting locations for lights, I needed a surface mount option. These fit the bill. They work great and were easy to wire with the harness I bought.



by:

awesome product works great

  • Availability of 6 Inch Long Oval Red and White Light Assemblies
    The closest options we have available to what you are looking for are the Red GloLight LED Trailer Light # STL111RB and the White GloLight LED # BUL111CB. Both light assemblies can be paired with the PVC Grommet # A70GB and feature a sonically sealed, waterproof housing and lens that is submersible. The red light assembly can be used with the 3-Wire Pigtail # A47PB and the white assembly will work perfectly with the 2-Wire Pigtail # A49PB. The light assemblies measure 6-1/2 inches long,...

  • LED Trailer Taillight Recommendation for Fulton F008564 Plastic Fender
    Typically trailer lights don't end up on fenders, but since your plan is to use this fender # F008564 on a tow dolly I could see how that would be required. On the ends of the fender where the plastic goes vertical you could mount the Sealed, 6-1/2" Oval LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light # STL78RB. I attached a picture that points out where that would be.

  • Troubleshooting Right Turn Signal Circuit Always Active on Vehicles Trailer Wiring
    If I am understanding you correctly it sounds like you have 12 volts on the right turn signal at all times. And that you even tested the wiring of your truck further and further up the vehicle's wiring and still there was voltage on the circuit. This to me sounds like a bad relay. A bad fuse would cause the circuit to stop functioning all together, but a bad relay will potentially cause a circuit to be active at the wrong time.

  • Oval LED Trailer Light Option That will Also Provide a Reflector
    I may have a solution for you, however, the Optronics Sealed 6-1/2 Inch LED Trailer Light, # STL70RB, does not contain reflectors. At this time we do not have any 6-1/2 inch oval tail lights that have reflectors in the lens. Instead, I would recommend using the Flange Mount Oval LED Trailer Light, # STL78RB, and adding the Snap-On Reflector Ring, # A78RXB. As mentioned in the title of the product, this ring will simply snap over the light on top of the mounting flange to provide a reflector...

  • Bracket and Grommet for Optronics Light STL72RB
    There is a way to use the bracket with a light that is just like the Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light # STL78RB although this particular light has a built-in flange and would not work with a bracket. If you take a look at the accompanying photo you can see how this light is designed to install. Instead you can use Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light # STL72RB which is the same light without the built-in flange and mount it with Grommet # A70GB and Bracket # BK70BB. I have added links to...

    From what you described it sounds like you have have a bad ground or a short for the Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light # STL78RB. Start off by checking to make sure that all of your grounds are securely connected to a clean, bare-metal surface as even some paint can cause issues. If all of those look good then you want to check the wiring itself to make sure that there aren't any sections where the wire is damaged and replace as necessary.

    The Optronics LED Trailer Tail Light - Stop, Turn, Tail - Submersible - 10 Diode - Oval - Red Lens # STL78RB you were looking at mount with the black ring that goes around the light. It may be possible to make a bracket large enough to mount these to, but with the light being 7-9/16" long x 3-5/16" tall the bracket would need to be at least this big. While it would require a little creativity this would be the best option for a light that does not extend far past the trailer since they...

    I went to our warehouse to get the Optronics oval LED tail light # STL78RB to provide the measurement you requested. From the backside of mounting plate to back of the lighting unit is flush. You will be able to mount it without any modifications other than a hole big enough for the wires to pass through. I made a short video for you to view.

  • Trailer Turn Signal Not Working with Running Lights on a 1993 Palomino Pop-Up Camper Trailer
    On trailers, the brake light and turn signals are on the same circuit and use the same bulb or LEDs. When you are braking and have the turn signal on, the turn signal should override the brake light on that side. The running lights should be independent of all of this. It sounds like there is a bad ground somewhere. Ground problems normally show up when there is more draw on a system such as when you have the running lights on and then use another function like a turn signal or brake light. Make...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Running Light Circuit Not Functioning on One Side of Trailer
    Since your running light issue is only on one side of the trailer that indicates that the issue is on the trailer wiring. Most likely you have an insufficient ground on the light assemblies on that side of the trailer. If you can fix/improve the ground on that side of the trailer you will fix the issue you are having. A lot of trailer lighting assemblies ground through the mounting hardware of the light so make sure your lights are mounted to a clean metal surface. You can also run jumper...

    First thing you should do at this point is test the 4-way of the wiring harness with a circuit tester part # PTW2993 for voltage on all of the right pins when the taillight signals are being applied. Just like in the video I attached. If the voltage checks out there but the trailer lights still don't function right then the problem is on the trailer wiring. That would mean that problem is either due to a ground issue or a short issue. Make sure that the trailer side connector are clean...
